Regional Program Manager, NSA/ CSS - Yorktown Systems Group

Summary: 

Yorktown Systems Group is seeking a qualified Regional Program Manager to support The National Security Agency/Central Security Service (NSA/CSS). The NSA/CSS requires cryptologic professionals with high-level language proficiency, as well as regional and cultural expertise, to meet mission requirements and to provide critical, actionable intelligence to support U.S. and Allied warfighters. The NSA/CSS National Cryptologic School (NCS) is charged with implementing an end-to-end training program to develop and assess this high-level capability in language and cultural expertise for all cryptologic analysts worldwide. The NSA/CSS NCS College of Language and Area Studies supports the Cryptologic Training System (CTS) Manager and the NSA/CSS Senior Language Authority (SLA) by planning for, executing, and assessing all cryptologic language and area studies training programs and initiatives. NSA/CSS will contract with external providers to support the design, development, and teaching of cryptologic language, language-related, and area studies content. 

NSA/CSS requires its language analyst workforce to be proficient not only at foreign language reading and listening comprehension, but also at applying that proficiency in performing tasks in Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Cybersecurity Operations, also referred to as Cryptologic Operations. Cryptologic language training differs from academic or general proficiency language study because it teaches students to apply language skills for operational purposes. In performing cryptologic operations, language professionals must understand a variety of complex oral and written communications. In addition, they must transcribe, translate, gist, and/or summarize audio, video, and written materials, write reports, and perform research. Cryptologic operational activities also include documenting the speaker’s/author’s intent and attitude, and providing analysis and insight into the meaning, context, and implications of the communications. 

Specific duties may include, but are not limited to:  

• Appoint a single individual to function as the REDRABBIT Program Manager (PM) at NSAW.  

• Notify the CO and COR-P in writing within five (5) business days upon a change in the contractor’s program office personnel. 

• Provide supervisory and management support for personnel on the REDRABBIT contract under the guidance of the PM. 

• Appoint at a minimum, a single individual at the following sites: Maryland, Texas, Hawaii, and Georgia, to function as Regional Program Managers.  

Required Qualifications: 

• Must be PMP certified with five (5) years of experience as a program or project manager in managing programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity. Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) Level 1 certification in Program Management will be accepted in lieu of PMP. 

• Experience managing cryptological organizations and/or training programs of similar size and scope, is preferred.  

• Must possess an active TS/SCI clearance
