This transformation role involves mapping end-to-end value streams, identifying process constraints, and translating business needs into governed, AI-enabled workflows. The individual will lead value-stream mapping across planning, scheduling, cost management, and risk management to eliminate manual handoffs and automate processes. Key responsibilities include designing use cases for AI assistants, defining human oversight controls, and developing a prioritized transformation roadmap. The role requires expertise in Lean, systems thinking, business process architecture, and program controls. Candidates must possess a practical understanding of generative AI, workflow automation, and data governance to solve complex problems within highly regulated environments involving aerospace and defense contract requirements while ensuring auditability and cybersecurity standards are maintained throughout the lifecycle.

What you'll do

  • Map end-to-end value streams to identify process constraints, manual handoffs, and opportunities for automation.
  • Translate business needs into governed AI-enabled workflows while maintaining compliance with EVMS requirements.
  • Develop a prioritized transformation roadmap based on business value, technical feasibility, and workforce readiness.
  • Design use cases for AI assistants and agents to improve program execution and data quality.
  • Define human oversight, decision rights, and audit controls for all AI-enabled processes.
  • Facilitate cross-functional workshops to convert findings into future-state designs and implementation plans.
  • Establish metrics to measure cycle-time reduction, quality, compliance, and realized business value.
  • Manage the pilot programs, validation, and organizational change management for scaled technology deployment.

What we're looking for

  • U.S. citizenship is required.
  • Bachelor's degree with 8 years of experience, or a Master's degree with 6 years of experience, is required.
  • Significant experience improving complex, cross-functional business processes is required.
  • Demonstrated experience with value-stream mapping, Lean, systems thinking, or business process architecture is required.
  • Working knowledge of program controls including planning, scheduling, cost management, and forecasting is required.
  • Practical understanding of generative AI, AI assistants, workflow automation, or agent-based solutions is required.
  • Experience supporting an ANSI/EIA-748-compliant EVMS or working in a DCMA-regulated environment (preferred).
  • Experience in aerospace, defense, government contracting, or other highly regulated industries (preferred).
