Responsibilities

Develop and execute digital transformation strategy(-ies) in support of government customers. Work with stakeholders to create digital transformation strategies and generate plans/roadmaps to realize those strategies

Architect solutions. Consistent with the strategies and roadmaps, produce various levels (e.g., functional, logical, solution) and types (e.g., operational, enterprise, ecosystem/environment, application) of architecture to inform implementation. Implementation approaches will need to account for user needs (e.g., requirements, use cases) and tradespace constraints such as applicable policies, regulations, and available resources

Support the Transition. Monitor, assess, and guide the transition from legacy capabilities to desired DE solutions, to include supporting relevant aspects of the acquisition process. Routinely engage with customer stakeholders to communicate the objectives, the status, and needs

Establish governance. Coordinate with stakeholders to implement executable processes and clear lines of authority/responsibility to continually manage the deployment and sustainment of digital capabilities

Provide integrated perspective. Provide expertise that incorporates the needs of Aerospace and the range of government stakeholders to ensure that advice and solutions reflect consistent, balanced, and integrated strategies based on what is best for the entire space enterprise
