Exercise Planner, Senior
The Opportunity:
Do you want to use your creativity, problem-solving, and storytelling skills to improve organizational mission performance in global defense? You understand there is no single or easy solution to prepare for the unforeseen. By creating and testing real-world scenarios, you know how to help defense organizations make faster and smarter decisions based on data.
As an exercise planner on our team, you’ll develop, implement, and measure the effectiveness of plans and procedures for clients, creating rich content using government training systems, including Adobe, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft PowerPoint to help you tell a realistic story. You’ll listen to client challenges and identify threats, gaps, or risks that need to be explored, and provide a safe space for recommendations that will make lasting, real-world impact.
As a leader in the firm’s exercise planning and support field, you’ll have the chance to work cross-functionally with wargame analysts, operations researchers, or senior leadership on projects that are making an impact on critical missions. You’ll share your expertise and collaborate with the industry’s best trainers and coaches through our custom “Train the Trainer” programs like planners from across the staff, other DoD organizations, and senior leaders.
Bring your skills to Booz Allen and discover solutions that will shape the future and help DoD organizations thrive.
