Job Description:

Position Overview

Our client is seeking an Engagement Lead (Management Consultant) to lead

our support to the Air Force B-1 System Program Office (SPO) at Tinker

Air Force Base. The initial 16-week effort will improve how the SPO

manages fleet readiness by establishing a current-state baseline,

assessing the data and integration landscape, prioritizing and designing

a minimum viable product, and developing an implementation roadmap. The

Engagement Lead is the senior, accountable consulting leader for this

work: framing the problem with SPO leadership, owning the integrated

workplan and quality of every deliverable, and making sure

recommendations become routines the SPO actually runs.

This role requires both consulting leadership and genuine weapon-system

credibility. You will bring the readiness and sustainment context to

distinguish how decisions are actually made from how a process appears

on paper, and the consulting discipline to turn incomplete data,

cross-organizational dependencies, and ambiguous operational problems

into clear decisions, requirements, and executable plans. The role is

hands-on: you will personally structure analyses, build and refine

PowerPoint and Excel deliverables, and run working sessions with SPO

leaders, logisticians, engineers, program managers, depot and production

personnel, supply-chain stakeholders, and an integrated consulting and

digital team.

Key Responsibilities

Client Leadership & Trusted Advisory: Serve as the senior day-to-day

consulting interface with B-1 SPO leadership; frame ambiguous readiness

problems into clear points of view and practical recommendations; and

design and facilitate executive meetings and decision forums.

Current-State Readiness Baseline: Lead interviews and working sessions

that document current readiness processes, decision rights, information

flows, constraints, and pain points across program management, product

support, engineering, depot and field maintenance, and supply.

Future-State Readiness Management: Define the future-state approach,

including decision forums, roles, key performance indicators, business

rules, escalation paths, and recurring management routines that can be

built into the SPO’s operating rhythm.

Data, Requirements & MVP Leadership: Partner with data engineers and

architects to assess readiness data sources, quality, and integration

constraints, and translate operational needs into use cases, analytic

requirements, data definitions, and acceptance criteria for a

prioritized minimum viable product.

Readiness Driver Analysis: Lead or guide root-cause analyses of

readiness drivers, including maintenance, supply, MICAP, depot

production, engineering, and reliability issues, using FMEA or

comparable structured methods.

Consulting Delivery & Quality: Own the engagement from problem

definition through roadmap, including scope, hypotheses, workplan,

milestones, and risks; personally develop and refine executive-ready

briefings, process maps, requirements, trackers, and the implementation

roadmap.

Stakeholder & Partner Integration: Engage depot, wing and squadron,

supply-chain, DLA, and other enterprise partners to validate findings

and remove barriers, and define clear roles, interfaces, and decision

rights with teaming partners within an integrated team.

Account Growth & Commercial Stewardship: Manage staffing, budget, and

delivery risk; build durable relationships across the B-1 enterprise;

and identify and shape follow-on opportunities with growth and capture

leaders.

Required

10+ years of professional experience, including 5+ years in management,

strategy, or transformation consulting (or a comparable client-services

environment) leading engagements or major workstreams with direct

accountability for senior-client relationships and executive-level

outputs.

8+ years of Department of War experience in aviation readiness,

weapon-system sustainment, logistics, maintenance, supply chain,

Direct experience supporting the B-1, another Air Force bomber, or a

comparably complex Air Force weapon system in a program office, depot,

operational unit, supply-chain organization, or sustainment command.

Working knowledge of the relationships among program management, product

support, depot maintenance, field maintenance, engineering, supply

support, and operational readiness.

Demonstrated record of assessing current-state processes and converting

findings into a future-state operating approach, prioritized

improvements, and an executable implementation roadmap.

Ability to define and interpret readiness measures, identify underlying

drivers, and connect metrics to authoritative data sources and

management decisions.

Advanced PowerPoint and Excel skills, including the ability to

personally structure analyses and build executive-ready story lines

without a large support team.

Exceptional facilitation, executive presence, and written communication;

able to lead discussions with senior leaders and technical specialists

and drive decisions in the room.

Strong program management across scope, schedule, quality, resources,

risk, and follow-through, including coordinating roles and work scope

with teaming partners.

Experience identifying, shaping, and advancing follow-on work from

existing client relationships.

Bachelor’s degree.

Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance and meet Tinker

Air Force Base installation access and suitability requirements.
