• Analyze manpower needs and recommend efficient utilization of personnel resources, aligned with program objectives and FMS funding constraints.
• Update, maintain, and produce organizational HR artifacts (e.g., org charts, recall rosters, phone lists) on a recurring basis to reflect staffing changes.
• Support in‑processing and out‑processing for civilians, military, international partners, and contractors—tracking status, maintaining metrics, and coordinating across Senior Leadership Team offices for a smooth experience.
• Administer and produce reports from the F‑35 personnel/manpower databases (e.g., Defense Ready/DR or successor system), including permissions, routine data quality checks, and scheduled outputs (weekly/monthly/quarterly/annual).
• Conduct trend analyses on HR and manpower data; identify anomalies and provide actionable insights to leadership for process improvements.
• Draft and maintain standard operating procedures and ensure HR forms, records, and guidance are current (semiannual review cadence).
• Coordinate with building and facility stakeholders (as needed) to ensure workspace readiness (e.g., workstation, phone, computer) for inbound personnel.
• Uphold all security, privacy, and information handling requirements (e.g., CUI marking, CAC/SAAR processes, Section 508 compliance for EIT, OPSEC awareness) relevant to HR data and workflows.

Qualifications:

• Education: BA/BS in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related discipline.
• Experience: Minimum 5 years performing HR and manpower management duties.
• Clearance: Active SECRET or ability to obtain.
• Demonstrated experience in Federal HR and/or manpower roles, with familiarity developing FMS manpower packages.
• Experience coordinating across USAF/USN/USMC stakeholder communities for civilian manpower actions.
