  • Assist with the preparation and maintenance of program documentation, reports, and records.
  • Support executive-level meetings, reviews, and engagements through preparation of agendas, read-ahead materials, and supporting documentation.
  • Track program activities, milestones, and deliverables to support organizational objectives.
  • Coordinate responses to data calls and documentation requests.
  • Maintain organized repositories and records supporting program and leadership activities.
  • Facilitate communication and coordination among internal and external stakeholders.
  • Support leadership with execution tracking, follow-up actions, and administrative coordination activities.
  • Ensure assigned products and deliverables are completed accurately and within established deadlines.
Requirements
  • Active TS/SCI security clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Public Administration, Management, Communications, Political Science, or a related field.
  • Minimum of two (2) years of relevant experience supporting federal government programs, executive offices, military staffs, program management offices, or operational support activities.
  • Experience preparing reports, briefings, presentations, correspondence, or communications products.
  • Experience tracking action items, taskings, schedules, or program activities.
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and SharePoint.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting Department of Defense organizations, headquarters staffs, or executive offices.
  • Experience supporting senior government officials, military leaders, or executive leadership teams.
  • Experience coordinating taskers, suspense management, or executive correspondence processes.
  • Experience preparing executive-level briefing materials and leadership communications.
  • Familiarity with program management, strategic planning, or organizational operations support activities.
