  • Hands-on experience managing defense priority requirements within enterprise ERP/MRP systems like SAP, NetSuite, or Oracle.
  • Ability to translate complex defense regulations into actionable business processes, SOPs, and training programs.
  • Proven ability to collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams including Legal, Procurement, Engineering, and Program Management.
