Job Description:
BAE Systems is seeking a motivated Risk Process Manager to support Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) leaders as part of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Integration Support Contract (ISC).
Detailed Job Description:
The Sentinel ICBM weapon system (formerly GBSD) is an enormous and complex "Mega-Project" modernizing the entire ICBM weapon system deployed across tens of thousands of square miles in five states. The new weapon system includes replacement of hundreds of aging Minuteman III ICBM facilities to secure and support a newly designed, technologically advanced ballistic missile. The complete replacement also provides an entirely new command & control system as well as vast array of required support equipment specifically engineered to operate and sustain the new weapon system over the decades ahead.
This position will directly support the AFGSC/A10 and associated personnel, as they support key internal and external shareholders' vision, direction, and implementation during the transition from the Minuteman III to the Sentinel weapon system. Duties will include developing, modifying, tracking and executing AFGSC risk factors within the Sentinel Weapon System Deployment. Specifically, this position will lead individuals responsible for identifying potential threats to operations, assessing their impact, and developing strategies to mitigate them. Additionally, the team will design, implement, and continuously improve organizational processes to ensure efficiency, compliance, and alignment with strategic goals.
A successful candidate will be a strategic leader with the abilities to build a new Organizational Risk Management (ORM) program from the ground up, standardizing risk management processes across six geographically separated locations. The ideal candidate will serve as the primary architect and change agent, responsible for authoring foundational policy, designing a robust training curriculum, and delivering instruction to all personnel levels. A key function of this role is to establish a framework for continuous evaluation and improvement, ensuring the program not only meets but exceeds Air Force standards, ultimately fostering a culture of proactive risk awareness and enhancing mission effectiveness across the entire organization.
Pursuant to Government contract, this position requires US Citizenship status.
This position is a full-time 5/40 role located at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, due to special-access, classified working environment and is not conducive to regular "telework" schedules.
