  • Mature post-incident review frameworks to systematically capture and disseminate organizational learning, strengthen response protocols, and demonstrate continuous improvement to clients and stakeholders.

Strategic Operations & Performance Management

  • Leverage operational data and delivery analytics to identify high-impact optimization opportunities, forecast resource requirements, and inform strategic growth decisions.
  • Implement process improvements and automation solutions that measurably reduce administrative overhead, accelerate delivery timelines, and enhance team productivity.
  • Collaborate with Resourcing Management Office to refine capacity planning models that anticipate market demand, optimize utilization, and support the practice's strategic growth objectives.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Alignment

  • Serve as the strategic operational liaison between OT leadership, Project Management Office, Sales, and client-facing teams to ensure organizational alignment and efficient execution.
  • Partner with OT Field Enablement and Sales Operations to continuously improve the opportunity-to-delivery pipeline, enhancing scoping accuracy, resource forecasting, and project kickoff experiences.
  • Work alongside technical SMEs to codify institutional knowledge into scalable operational procedures that preserve expertise while enabling practice expansion.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

  • 4+ years' experience in project management, business analysis, or operations management with demonstrated progression of responsibility.
  • Proven experience optimizing operations within professional services environments; experience within OT cybersecurity, industrial control systems, or critical infrastructure is highly valued.
  • Proficient with modern project management platforms, CRM systems, and workflow automation tools with the ability to leverage advanced features and integrations.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
