DESE Research, Inc. is seeking a highly capable and motivated leader in Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) and analysis to join our cybersecurity and system protection division. The candidate will serve as the Team Lead and Subject Matter Expert (SME) leading a dynamic, multi-disciplinary team, working to provide in-depth technical analysis to the Army in Huntsville, AL. Our SCRM team contextualizes supply chain threats, vulnerabilities, and risks of "cyber" components to the Army's current and developmental weapon systems through SCRM vendor and component analysis per DoD 5200.44 and DoD 5200.39.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities in this role include identifying system functionality and critical components by analyzing and decomposing complex systems from documentation alongside input from engineering subject matter experts. The candidate will lead a specialized 4 to 5-person team in conducting research to identify and analyze threats, vulnerabilities, and risks to the vendor and identified components. These assessments will be compiled and presented to decision-makers to make Army weapon systems safer and more secure. To be successful in this role, the candidate will need knowledge and understanding of program protection and SCRM concepts and processes. Responsibilities also include:

Lead the development and preparation of multi-disciplinary risk-based information reports that incorporate data from disparate sources and organizations into a cohesive narrative designed to inform decisionmakers.
Lead the preparation and presentation of findings to end-customers in-person and via video conference, as required.
Design and lead analytic process improvements that streamline research and analysis activities and provide greater focus on delivering insights relevant for risk-based decisions.
Identify opportunities to leverage SCRM research and analysis methodologies towards Operational Security missions.

The ideal candidate is a career-minded individual who wants to lead a high-caliber team for one of Huntsville's premier Defense contracting companies with a particularly deep and broad history in SCRM for the DoD. DESE has industry-leading benefits including a generous profit-sharing plan, competitive pay, but perhaps most importantly, the opportunity to work with the best and the brightest in the industry in support of the US warfighter. Launching a career with DESE allows you to put your skills and experience to good use doing crucial, mission-critical work that our country's armed forces and others depend on.
