Description
Overview Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc. (SPA) delivers high-impact, technical solutions to complex national security issues. With over 50 years of business expertise and consistent growth, we are known for continuous innovation for our government customers, in both the US and abroad. Our exceptionally talented team is highly collaborative in spirit and practice, producing Results that Matter. Come work with the best! We offer opportunity, unique challenges, and clear-sighted commitment to the mission. SPA: Objective. Responsive. Trusted. The Joint, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Interagency Division (JOID) provides expert support services to a range of customers spanning across the Department of Defense, Federal Civilian, and international markets. JOID provides a diverse portfolio of analytical and programmatic capabilities to help our customers make informed decisions on their most challenging issues. SPA's NATO Allied Command Transformation Group, within JOID, provides capability development, portfolio management, program management, quality management, cost estimation analysis, standardization, reporting, software solutions and information management, and capability management support. We also provide an improved capability requirements capture process, including the generation, documentation and tracing of user requirements, with appropriate technical scrutiny, over the entire lifecycle of the requirements from capability definition through capability realization and capability usage. We have a near-term need for a Senior Enterprise Architect - Infrastructure Program to provide onsite support in Norfolk, VA. Responsibilities The Senior Enterprise Architect Support - Infrastructure Program will perform analysis of existing NATO Infrastructure capability architectures and their modelling at enterprise, capability and solution level, including identification of gaps, overlaps, and dependencies among capabilities and related programs. Examples include Air Basing, Maritime Facilities, Land Facilities, Ammunition Facilities, Fuel Facilities and Pipelines, and NATO Command Structure Buildings. Facilitate singular view of Infrastructure ontology in accordance with NATO Architecture Framework (NAF)--a logical macro depiction of Infrastructure capabilities in which program directors can drill down to lowest levels to ensure there are no duplications or deficiencies in capabilities and ensure maximum integration and operational effects of infrastructure capabilities to support the Regional Plans. Perform modelling, architecture, and design activities of new and enhanced capabilities down to infrastructure solution level to ensure completeness, consistency, and clarity of requirements-related work. Produce relevant NAF perspectives in support to capability design and requirement definition as well as to enterprise and portfolio management. Support the elicitation, capture, development, analysis, evaluation, and traceability of capability requirements and identification of dependencies from other capabilities and/or regulatory requirements. Support the elicitation, capture, development, analysis, evaluation and traceability of higher and lower-level requirements (such as capability targets, operational requirements, system specifications, interoperability requirements, etc.). Support P3M planning activities to ensure that the dependencies between architecture and the other elements of the plans are understood and taken into consideration. Maintain the architectural artefacts in their repositories ensuring version and configuration control. Support the development, analysis and review of concepts of operation, courses of action and alternatives. Coordinate DOTMLPFI development and implementation synchronization; support the development of recommended courses of action to resolve issues relating capability development. Organize and participate in workshops, seminars, conferences, and meetings in support of the activities above. Identify Lessons and contribute to their Learning within the organization. Support the coordination of architecture related products with Management and Governance. Support the branch and travel in meetings and conferences both within and outside NATO's boundaries for up to 30 days per year. Qualifications Required: Citizenship of one of the NATO member countries. NATO Secret Security Clearance or national equivalent. At least 5 years in the last 10 of demonstrable experience with hand-on development of business, application, and technology architectures using professional modelling tools (e.g. Sparx, ARIS, BizzDesign) in accordance with TOGAF or comparable architectural frameworks (e.g. Zachman, DoDAF, UAF). One or more certifications in recognised Enterprise Architecture methodologies and frameworks like TOGAF, Zachman, DoDAF, UAF or similar along with proficiency in ArchiMate notation. Demonstrable ability to present complex architectures in an easy understandable and accessible way to non-technical audiences, from end users to senior decision makers and approval boards. Demonstrable recent (i.e. in the last 10 years) experience with working on programs having significant focus on physical infrastructure and facilities (e.g. airports, fuel supply infrastructure, transport and logistics). Demonstrated proficiency in English as defined in STANAG 6001 (Standardized Linguistic Profile (SLP) 3333 - Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing) or equivalent. Proficiency in the use of the Microsoft Office Tool suite and collaborative software. Able to work fully onsite based on client needs.
