Director of Space International Affairs

Eligibility will be based upon a clear showing the applicant has training, education and experience of the scope and quality sufficient to effectively carry-out the duties of the position. Candidates must exemplify the corporate perspective, leadership vision, broad experience and character needed in the SES corps not only to satisfy the immediate vacancy, but future vacancies which will occur in a variety of organizations, functions and locations. MANDATORY TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS (TQs): (NTE 2 pages – PDF format) A supplemental statement must be submitted separately addressing each TQ. TQs must provide specific examples that address relevant experience and accomplishments. Applicants should focus on recent experience, education, and training, as some Recruitment Panel and Executive Resources Board members may consider experience that’s over 10 years old to be outdated. Applicants must reflect superior technical qualifications demonstrated through leadership and management in the following: Demonstrated executive experience leading and guiding multidisciplinary teams with in-depth knowledge of United States Space Force (USSF) operations, strategic objectives, and associated international activities. Demonstrated experience in coordinating Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and engaging with allied and partner nations. Demonstrated executive experience in the Security Cooperation enterprise, leading workforce management and talent development initiatives to enhance operational effectiveness. Demonstrate expert knowledge in designing and implementing strategies that achieve the Department of the Air Force’s long-range objectives in international programs. In addition, DoD requires an Enterprise Perspective. The individual must possess a broad point of view and an awareness and understanding of individual or organizational responsibilities in relation to DoD or government-wide strategic priorities. Executives should demonstrate ability to work with internal and external partners to support national security objectives. This perspective is typically gained through a variety of diverse work experiences. A separate narrative statement is not required–this information should be embedded within the application package [Resume (not to exceed 5 pages) and Technical Qualifications (not to exceed a combined total of 2 pages)].
