Instructor and Program Manager, Lead

Instructor and Program Manager, Lead

The Opportunity

Advanced Space Force training programs require more than expert instructors—they demand leaders who can synchronize people, schedules, deliverables, and evolving mission requirements across a dynamic enterprise. The client needs a training leader like you: someone who can both teach at the highest level and orchestrate a complex training program spanning multiple courses, instructors, and operational stakeholders.

As the Lead Instructor and Program Manager, you’ll bring deep expertise in instructional systems design, analytic tradecraft, and space intelligence to shape mission‑ready training. You’ll oversee the full lifecycle of curriculum development and delivery, ensuring courseware aligns with operational demands, leadership priorities, and intelligence mission changes.

You’ll manage day‑to‑day program execution—tracking deliverables, coordinating schedules, synchronizing instructor workloads, and ensuring all outputs meet government and Booz Allen quality standards. You’ll interface regularly with Space Force leadership and mission partners to refine requirements, validate content, and integrate new tools, systems, or mission updates into training pipelines.

This is your chance to deepen your leadership in enterprise‑level training modernization, while maintaining the instructor credibility required to step onto the podium and deliver world‑class training. You’ll shape the training enterprise, mentor instructors, guide analytic instruction, and ensure the program consistently delivers the readiness outcomes the mission demands.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
