Data Manager

BOOST LLC is a dynamic management consulting firm that offers an array of government-compliant back-office solutions to support our teaming partners within the GovCon space. We are working with our client, Don Selvy Enterprises (DSE) to find their next highly skilled Data Manager.

About DSE

DSE, Inc. is a team of experienced professionals dedicated to engineering, training, and program management that enables front-line soldiers, sailors, and Marines to fully exploit the tactical capabilities of aviation and maritime platforms. We accomplish this by using the most qualified employees and keeping abreast of every new capability in aviation, maritime technologies, and simulation/training technology as it emerges. Our wide range of expertise is constantly expanding as we seek valued members of the DSE team and work to develop each of them to their fullest potential in the field. To this day, DSE continues to foster a work environment that supports ingenuity and the care for each member of the team.

The Role

The Data Manager will support NAVAIR's Presidential Helicopters Program Office (PMA-274), which equips, sustains, and supports Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1), the unit that flies the aircraft known by the callsign Marine One. You'll plan, coordinate, track, review, and control technical and programmatic data and deliverables across the acquisition life cycle, working closely with government program personnel, engineering, logistics, configuration management, contracts, and acquisition teams to make sure required data gets identified, delivered, reviewed, distributed, maintained, and dispositioned correctly.

PMA-274 manages the VH-92A Patriot, which is replacing the VH-3D Sea King and VH-60N White Hawk as the helicopter that carries the President of the United States. It's one of the most visible, highest-scrutiny programs in naval aviation, and every CDRL you track and deliverable you keep on schedule feeds directly into that mission.

Why DSE

DSE doesn't just ask for your experience, it rewards it. DSE's PTO program is experience-based rather than tenure-based, meaning the relevant industry experience you bring with you can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, rather than starting over at the bottom like you would at most employers. It's a rare structure in this industry, where most companies only reward the tenure you earn after you join, not the years of expertise you bring with you.

That same philosophy carries through the rest of the benefits package:

• Starting salary range: $80,000 to $120,000 annually
• 100% company-paid medical and dental premiums for employees (50% for dependents)
• 401(k) with up to a 4% company match
• Fully paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance, no cost to you
• Employer-funded FSA plus HRA contributions toward your deductible
• Experience-based PTO: your prior relevant experience can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, plus the option to purchase additional PTO
• 11 paid holidays (6 national, 5 floating)
• Tuition reimbursement to support continued professional growth
