Join the Program Support Services:
Program Assurance and Risk Management team (PSS-3). This team is responsible for implementing and maintaining a best-in-class risk management program across the Associate Laboratory Directorate Weapons Production (ALDWP). The assignment provides an opportunity to make a significant contribution in support of the key organization responsible for maintaining the U.S. nuclear weapons program.

Reporting to the Program Support Services (PSS) Director, the PSS-3 Group provides standardized program and risk management processes, systems, and tools across the ALDWP to drive consistency, improve efficiencies, and enable better integration of scope and deliverables to meet the NNSA/DOE Customer expectations.

Specifically, this role will report to the PSS-3 Group Lead and will be responsible for bringing positive change across the ALDWP and LANL landscape through consistent application of a common risk management tool, processes, and documentation.

This role will support the overall LANL mission, including the 30 Pit Production target, with the implicit knowledge that it will not be enough to simply treat threats but to also identify and implement opportunities designed to drive successful outcomes.

The successful candidate will provide risk management support throughout ALDWP, including acting as the risk manager for some ALDWP programs. The position will identify and support the development, improvement, and implementation of policies, plans, and procedures necessary to support a consolidated and integrated ALDWP risk management program. Additionally, you will design, build, and deliver ARM risk management training for ALDWP, LANL, and our NNSA Customers along with general risk management awareness training for your assigned programs.
