Full job description
Project Management SpecialistThe Opportunity: Are you searching for a position where you can use your project management and analysis skills to develop a project from concept to completion? A program requires significant investment of limited resources, and with that constraint, you will need to keep the project on a productive path. That’s why we need you, a project management specialist who can help ensure success through careful analysis and effective communication.
On our team, you’ll provide technical project management expertise while supporting a DoD client in its establishment and management of enterprise-wide Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Information Technology (IT) products and services procurement vehicles.

In support of these efforts, you will be using tools like Microsoft Excel to analyze budgets and track information, Microsoft Outlook to collaborate to manage schedules, Microsoft Word to contribute to the development of contractual and other technical documents, and Microsoft PowerPoint to develop presentations. The real power of project management comes from communication to ensure the government achieves its goals and meets our quality standards.
At Booz Allen, we recognize that we must continuously grow as a team to bring the best support to our clients, so here you’ll have all the resources to succeed. This is a chance to directly impact a meaningful mission while growing your skills in program strategy. Work with us and help make sure our DoD acquisition programs accomplish their project goals within budget as we improve IT capabilities for the military.
