Senior Program Management Analyst

Active DOD Secret Clearance Required

On-site at the Pentagon – Arlington, Virginia

Are you seeking a unique leadership role with direct engagement with senior DOD leadership and the opportunity to work daily with the President of the Company?

Are you looking to step into a position that places you as a trusted advisor, with a pathway to leading a major workstream?

Are you an exceptional communicator and consultant, able to build trust and add real value?

Do you have current Department of the Navy (DON) Finance and Budget experience with an emphasis on Planning and Programming?

@Orchard is looking to engage a Senior Program Management Analyst with extensive DON Budget experience focused on the Planning and Programming aspect of PPBE to support DON leadership at the SES and GS-15 level. This exceptionally rare opportunity places you at the heart of the budgeting process and necessitates working daily onsite at the Pentagon. Our client is positioned as the trusted advisor to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management and Controller (OASN). In this role, you will provide critical support for budgetary planning.

Project background and work.

As the Senior Program Management Analyst, you will directly engage with senior leadership and department heads (SES and GS-15) on both funded and unfunded budget requests and deliver detailed reporting and analysis to the DON leadership, culminating to the Secretary of the Navy. 

Our client provides a unique blend of consulting, analysis, and hands-on support to OASN FM&C. Responsibilities range from working with department staff to define and quantify budget requests, to conducting in-depth analysis budget planning, and producing detailed reports and presentations. The role demands a strong strategic mindset coupled with the ability to "roll up their sleeves" and create comprehensive briefing materials from scratch using departmental data.

Key criteria for focus

• Strong experience with the PPBE cycle, with a focus on the Planning and Programming portion.
• Candidates must have a deep working knowledge of PBIS and have familiarity with Navy ERP and ADVANA.
• Exceptional Excel and PowerPoint skills, briefing decks to a standard acceptable to the Navy Secretariat level / Ech 1 / Pentagon client. 
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to build rapport with senior leaders (SES and GS-15).
• This is a hands-on role, and candidates should enjoy and have a passion for creating reports and briefing decks.
• Team play is essential; the Iberia team wears many hats, and colleagues often need assistance. Someone just looking to stay in their lane will not work out; whereas someone eager to give and accept collaboration and mentorship will thrive.
• The focus is on capability as opposed to years of experience, but realistically, to be credible, candidates will likely have 5+ years of total experience and a solid couple of years with PBIS and PPBE.

Required qualifications and experience

• An Active Secret Clearance
• A Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field
• Able to work 5 days a week, onsite at the Pentagon
• Demonstrated deep knowledge of PPBE with an emphasis on Planning and Programming, plus deep knowledge of PBIS and familiarity with Navy ERP and ADVANA.

If you are interested in a role of genuine impact that serves the DON mission in a significant way, and a role that will see you work with 20+ colleagues at the DON, including the company President, this is just that role. If you are successful, you will have the opportunity to take over from the company President as the Workstream leader for the entire OASN program. You will be mentored and can work one-on-one with an ICF-certified performance coach to elevate your business and consulting skills.

Compensation

Base salary is a product of your experience and qualifications. It is expected to be in the range of $160K-$180K, plus performance-based incentives and a variable compensation program. Our client offers competitive benefits.
