Job Description:

As the ORBIS AUKUS Submarine Supply and Logistics Program Manager, you will lead and manage the successful design and enablement of a Submarine Rotational Force - West (SRF-W) operational framework to sustain Virginia Class Submarines.

You will provide strategic vision and tactical program management with respect to establishing and sustaining submarine life-cycle product support for Virginia Class Submarines.  As an experienced submarine logistician, you will lead efforts to establish processes, procedures, and supplier uplift capabilities from concept to execution.   This includes coordinating with US and Australian partners AUKUS to develop the SRF-W load list for material, while navigating the full spectrum of supply logistics from forecasting, procurement, transporting, storing, and ultimate delivery to the end user.  As a collaborator and change agent, you will act as a liaison between the Logistic Support Element of a Joint Logistics Unit and the Australian sustainment activity.
