Role Description

Lead implementation of the Government-established learning and career-development framework for a 10- to 25-person early-career acquisition cohort, aligning activities to program milestones, priorities, participant needs, and applicable acquisition career requirements.

Develop and maintain the Development Framework and Curriculum Plan, including learning objectives, sequencing, delivery methods, facilitators, prerequisites, milestone dates, evaluation methods, dependencies, and required resources.

Coordinate learning across federal acquisition fundamentals, the acquisition lifecycle, procurement and contracting, mission and organization, business acumen, customer engagement, market research, acquisition planning, data literacy, digital acquisition, emerging technologies, communication, negotiation, project management, leadership, ethics, and career planning.

Design and facilitate cohort-based learning activities such as workshops, case studies, speaker series, leadership engagements, peer-learning sessions, mission briefings, innovation challenges, capstone projects, networking sessions, and communities of practice.

Develop facilitator guides, participant materials, job aids, learning schedules, presentations, exercises, case materials, assessments, and accessible digital resources for Government review and approval.

Support each participant's Individual Development Plan or equivalent roadmap by documenting required and recommended learning, target competencies, developmental assignments, mentoring, rotations, certification milestones, career milestones, goals, and target completion dates.

Establish repeatable processes for learning enrollment, attendance, completion, make-up activities, participant communications, resource distribution, feedback collection, and maintenance of current learning records.

Coordinate mentor and mentee guides, expectations, matching support, orientation, engagement tracking, pulse surveys, and issue escalation in partnership with volunteer Government mentors and program leadership.

Support identification and coordination of rotational and developmental assignments, including objectives, schedules, stakeholder communications, participant and supervisor feedback, completion tracking, and developmental outcome documentation.

Maintain participant learning and development data, including training requirements and completion, IDP milestones, certification-related progress, rotations, mentoring participation, cohort activities, competency development, developmental assignments, feedback, risks, and corrective actions.

Define and apply Government-approved status criteria to identify participants who are on track, at risk, or materially behind; document contributing factors and recommend timely developmental interventions without performing supervisory functions.

Develop learning measurement strategies using appropriate models and methods, including reaction, learning, application, milestone attainment, competency progression, participant experience, supervisor experience, and program outcomes.

Analyze which developmental activities correlate with participant progression, retention, competency growth, and career milestones; document assumptions and limitations and distinguish correlation from causation.

Provide development measures, trends, risks, narrative insights, and recommended actions for dashboards, monthly reports, quarterly analytics, executive briefings, annual evaluations, and continuous-improvement reviews.

Conduct recurring needs assessments and use participant, supervisor, mentor, and stakeholder feedback to identify developmental gaps, delivery barriers, successful practices, and opportunities for standardization or automation.

Coordinate recommendations for changes to the development framework with the officials responsible for acquisition workforce development and certification before implementation.

Maintain curriculum assets, data definitions, operating procedures, version histories, lessons learned, and transition materials so government or a successor contractor can sustain the program without avoidable dependency on incumbent personnel.

Ensure learning products and records comply with applicable federal privacy, information-security, records-management, system-access, and Section 508 accessibility requirements.

Respond to routine Government and participant inquiries within established service levels and promptly elevate material gaps in learning, mentoring, rotations, supervision, or developmental opportunities.
