Senior Technical Advisor – Strategic Supply Chain Risk & Warfighting Technology
Location: United States, Remote Eligible with a strong preference for those local to Washington, DC or Huntsville, AL for a hybrid working model
Work Environment: Remote or Hybrid if within commutable distance
Role Summary:
The Senior Technical Advisor, Strategic Supply Chain Risk & Warfighting Technology, provides expert operational and technical guidance to support the identification, assessment, and validation of mitigation strategies for risks across defense sustainment and modernization supply chains. Operating at the intersection of industrial base analysis, manufacturing science, operational planning, and Department of War–level acquisition and authorities, this role ensures that proposed mitigations are technically feasible, industrially realistic, and executable under U.S. Government authorities spanning the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, as well as joint and interagency frameworks.
The Technical Advisor serves as the primary technical interface with government customers, owning day-to-day engagement on mitigation strategy design, validation, and execution. This role routinely engages senior civilian and uniformed leaders at the Department of War and Service headquarters level, translating analytical outputs into decision-grade recommendations aligned with strategic priorities, operational risk tolerance, and authorities to act. This position serves as a senior advisor to AI solution engineers and software developers building automated supply chain risk management (SCRM) capabilities. The advisor is also a key member of the Exiger Delivery team, coaching government stakeholders on mitigation strategies that align with strategic technology priorities, operational requirements, and real-world industrial constraints.
What You’ll Do:
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for government customers, leading discussions on supply chain risk findings, mitigation options, and execution pathways.
Engage regularly with executive-level stakeholders at the Department of War and Service headquarters, including senior acquisition, sustainment, logistics, and operational leaders.
Present complex technical, industrial, and analytical findings in a clear, authoritative manner suitable for executive decision-making, including briefings, read-aheads, and formal recommendations.
Advise and validate supply chain risk mitigations by applying expert judgment on technical feasibility, industrial base capacity, operational relevance, and legal or policy authority across Army, Navy, Air Force, and joint stakeholders.
Collaborate with Forward Deployed Engineers, Data Scientists, and Software Developers to guide the design, training, and validation of automated or semi-automated SCRM and mitigation workflows.
Assess and propose mitigation strategies affecting strategically decisive Department of War technologies, ensuring alignment with modernization priorities, force readiness, and mission assurance.
Translate analytical outputs into actionable courses of action, explicitly identifying tradeoffs, timelines, authorities, and industrial constraints for senior leaders.
What You Bring:
10+ years of progressive experience in defense, national security, industrial base analysis, acquisition, procurement, sustainment, warfighting technology environments, or logistics with demonstrated senior advisory responsibility to DoD/DoW or Service-level stakeholders.
Demonstrated experience engaging senior leaders or executive-level decision-makers within the Department of Defense, Military Departments, or joint organizations, serving as the primary technical interface at DoW and Service headquarters to present decision-grade findings, lead executive briefings/read-aheads, and translate analytic outputs into executable mitigation pathways — backed by a practical software and data engineering background (Python, SQL, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, Redshift and related data-warehouse/query tooling) that enables authoritative review and rapid validation of platform-derived recommendations.
Proven ability to operate as a trusted advisor, balancing technical rigor, operational realism, and strategic judgment in high-consequence environments, with hands-on experience building and maintaining production analytics and data pipelines (ETL, SQL, Python), implementing model governance and adjudication workflows, and applying modern software practices (Git, CI/CD, containerization, RESTful APIs, and cloud data platforms such as Snowflake/Redshift/AWS/Azure) to convert automated outputs into validated, executable mitigation plans for senior decision makers.
Experience serving as a senior customer-facing lead on complex defense, industrial base, or technology programs involving multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
Comfort operating at the strategic–operational seam, engaging executives while remaining grounded in technical and industrial realities.
Active U.S. Government security clearance at the Secret level or higher, with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI clearance as required.
