Job Description
BAE Systems is seeking a motivated Public Affairs and Protocol SME to support Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) Task Force Detachment leaders as part of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Integration Support Contract (ISC).
Detailed Job Description:
The Sentinel ICBM weapon system (formerly GBSD) is an enormous and complex “Mega-Project” modernizing the entire ICBM weapon system deployed across tens of thousands of square miles in five states. The new weapon system includes replacement of hundreds of aging Minuteman III ICBM facilities to secure and support a newly designed, technologically advanced ballistic missile. The complete replacement also provides an entirely new command & control system as well as vast array of required support equipment specifically engineered to operate and sustain the new weapon system over the decades ahead.
This position will directly support the AFGSC Task Force Detachment personnel and the AFGSC/A10 Directorate, as they support key internal and external shareholders vision, direction, and implementation during the transition from the Minuteman III to the Sentinel weapon system. Duties will include public affairs and protocol efforts for the AFGSC Task Force Detachments, all key AFGSC/A10 Staff, and lead decision makers while interfacing with external Air Force agencies, Numbered Air Force, and Department of the Air Force agencies involving the modernization of the ICBM fleet. The public affairs and protocol member must be comfortable working with multiple and fast changing priorities. The ability to switch tasks and multi-task with minimal disruption, and without constant supervision, is a must. Managing multiple visit/project schedules, leader schedules, and priorities, with professional communication skill, in face-to-face and virtual environments is a necessity.
Additionally, the public affairs and protocol member performs a variety of tasks including data collection, data management, calendar/schedule management, event/meeting planning, and updating program status internally to the AFGSC Task Force Detachment Commanders/Directors.
Pursuant to Government contract, this position requires US Citizenship status.
This position is a full-time 5/40 role located at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, due to special-access, classified working environment and is not conducive to regular “telework” schedules.
