  • Conduct research and analysis on trends, risks, and opportunities related to small business utilization and supplier diversity within the defense industrial base.
  • Track and assess the impact of legislative and regulatory developments from Congress, SBA, FAR, DFARS, and other federal agencies.
  • Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders, including contracting offices, program offices, legal counsel, SBA representatives, prime contractors, and small business partners.
  • Support subcontracting program efforts, including review of subcontracting plans, performance trends, compliance considerations, and reporting requirements.
  • Assist with analyzing subcontracting data and preparing reports, dashboards, summaries, and responses for leadership inquiries.
  • Help identify barriers to subcontracting opportunities for small businesses and recommend policy or process improvements.
  • Support meetings, working groups, industry engagement events, and interagency coordination related to small business and subcontracting matters.
  • Prepare executive-level briefings and present findings, recommendations, and status updates to leadership and stakeholders.
  • Perform other duties as assigned in support of OSBP priorities and mission objectives.

Required Qualifications:

  • SECRET security clearance.
  • Bachelor’s degree in public policy, business, public administration, law, acquisition, finance, or a related field
  • 8+ years of relevant experience in federal policy, acquisition policy, small business programs, defense programs, or government contracting.
