Performance-Based Expertise: Proven experience developing Measurable Performance Standards, Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs), and Performance Requirements Summaries (PRS) for PWS development.
Analytical & Structural Skills: Strong proficiency in managing complex document hierarchies, multi-level numbering systems (e.g., Work Breakdown Structures), and synthesizing large volumes of technical data.
Systems Familiarity: Basic understanding of federal procurement support systems and internal control workflows, such as the Purchase Card Online System (PCOLS).
Desired:
Education: Masters Degree in English, Technical Writing, Communications, Journalism, Business Administration, or a related technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering) with 3+ years' experience.
Clearance Level: Active DoD Top Secret security clearance
