About the Role
As a Submarines Certification Specialist, you will provide programmatic support to a NAVSEA customer in the Washington, DC area.

You will analyze requirements to develop program reporting, create evaluation plans and metrics, and support studies that evaluate program accomplishments and compliance. Your work will involve preparing coordinated reports, presentations, and briefings for senior decision-makers, as well as developing white papers on program status or issues impacting the Navy. You will interface with stakeholders across NAVSEA and other Department of Navy organizations to track action items and ensure all deliverables meet Serco's Quality Assurance Program.
