PROGRAM ANALYST
What you'd do

Major duties
You will serve as the principal staff authority and senior program manager for aircraft carrier Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) and Material Condition Assessment Team (MCAT) readiness.

You will advise senior leadership on readiness risks, trends, priorities, and recommended actions affecting aircraft carrier material readiness, maintenance effectiveness, and overall force readiness. You will lead on-site assessments and provide authoritative direction to ship’s force and supporting activities during preparation and assessment events. You will routinely resolve complex issues where established guidance is incomplete, conditions vary by ship and availability, and decisions have long-term consequences beyond a single inspection event. You will develop event objectives, schedules, methodologies, assessment criteria, reporting products, and execution strategies. You will ensure subordinate work supports command objectives, and that inspection and assessment activities are conducted in a disciplined, consistent, and mission-focused manner. You will evaluate significant findings to distinguish ship-specific issues from broader process, policy, technical, fiscal, or resource shortfalls affecting multiple platforms or future inspection performance.
