Portfolio Management Specialist

Location: Alexandria, VA

The Opportunity

As a portfolio management specialist, knowing the complexities of supporting a project from concept to completion is essential. Many programs require a significant investment of limited resources, and it is imperative to keep a project on a productive path. That is why a seasoned project management specialist who can help ensure success through careful analysis and effective communication is needed.

You will serve as a portfolio lead for a DoW customer and be responsible for the day-to-day management of various projects as assigned by the customer, throughout an entire lifecycle. You will analyze existing policies and processes to identify organizational improvements that streamline the client's portfolio. The work performed in support of this customer will have direct impacts upon U.S. defense priorities.

The real impact of project management comes from communication to ensure the client achieves their objectives and goals, while meeting our quality standards. At Booz Allen, we recognize that we must continuously grow as a team to bring the best support to our clients. This position is an opportunity to influence a meaningful mission, while learning how to develop and manage program strategy. This position is located in Alexandria, VA.
