The posting

Company Overview:

ANSER enhances national and homeland security by strengthening public institutions. We provide thought leadership for complex issues through independent analysis, and we deliver practical, useful solutions. ANSER values collaboration, integrity, and initiative and we are client focused in all that we do. Because we were established for the purpose of public service and not for profit, we measure our success in the impact of our service.

Position Overview

ANSER is seeking an experienced Acquisition Manager / DAG Chief to provide senior-level acquisition management and advisory support to the Space Systems Command (SSC), Space Domain Awareness and Combat Power (SSC/SZ). In this role, you will support Government leadership in managing and aligning acquisition strategies, resources, requirements, funding, contracts, and program milestones across a complex portfolio of classified and unclassified space programs. You will serve as a trusted advisor, providing strategic analysis, actionable recommendations, and cross-functional coordination to support program execution, resolve acquisition challenges, and inform senior leadership decisions.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

  • Advise SSC/SZ leadership and program managers on acquisition strategy, planning, execution, and portfolio management across complex space programs.
  • Assess and recommend alignment of acquisition activities, manpower, funding, requirements, and program objectives to support mission priorities.
  • Develop, maintain, and analyze acquisition forecasts, including current and future contract actions, program milestones, key decision points, and execution risks.
  • Identify acquisition gaps, schedule risks, integration challenges, and program execution issues; develop recommendations and coordinate resolution with Government stakeholders and mission partners.
  • Support the development, review, coordination, and execution of acquisition strategies, requirements documentation, and program management plans throughout the acquisition life cycle.
  • Integrate force design considerations, operational imperatives, combatant command priorities, and future force requirements into acquisition planning and recommendations.
  • Evaluate cost, schedule, performance, funding, contracting, and requirements tradeoffs to inform Government acquisition decisions.
  • Coordinate acquisition and sustainment activities across SSC organizations, Government agencies, contractors, and mission partners to promote program alignment and execution.
  • Support integrated product teams, working groups, program management reviews, and other cross-functional acquisition forums.
  • Assist with authorized source-selection support activities, including acquisition documentation, source-selection plans, acquisition strategies, and proposal evaluation materials.
  • Prepare executive-level briefings, reports, analyses, decision packages, and correspondence for senior Government leadership.
  • Support high-visibility acquisition initiatives, leadership engagements, congressional-level activities, and time-sensitive Government taskings.
  • Provide acquisition management and advisory support throughout the program life cycle, from initial planning and development through execution, transition, and sustainment.

Required Qualifications

  • Active Top Secret security clearance with SCI eligibility (TS/SCI).
  • Master's degree (MA/MS) from an accredited college or university.
  • Minimum of 20 years of relevant professional experience, including significant experience supporting military or national security space programs.
  • PMT 4010 Certificate (or predecessor course), demonstrating qualification to support DoD ACAT I and II acquisition programs.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting complex Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition programs, preferably ACAT I and II programs within the space domain.
  • Extensive knowledge of DoD acquisition processes, acquisition strategy development, program execution, requirements management, and life-cycle sustainment.
  • Proficiency with DoD acquisition, cost, requirements, and reporting tools, including Cost and Requirements System (C&RS), MAR reporting software, Microsoft Office Suite, and Task Management Tool (TMT).
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate cost, schedule, performance, funding, contracting, and requirements information to assess program risks and support acquisition decisions.
  • Experience developing, reviewing, and coordinating acquisition strategies, program documentation, executive briefings, analytical reports, and decision-support materials.
  • Proven ability to collaborate with senior Government officials, program managers, contractors, and mission partners to identify challenges, evaluate impacts, and coordinate solutions.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including experience preparing and presenting complex acquisition information to senior Government leadership.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities, exercise sound judgment, and deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment supporting classified space acquisition programs.
