About the Role
A commander looking at a recommended target and effect pairing asks two questions: why this, and why now? Target Effect Pairing (TEP) is a capability for USPACOM Joint Fires, built on the Maven Smart System, that answers both with AI recommendations a targeting staff can trace, explain, and audit. It speeds up capabilities analysis and the commander's decision and force assignment, while every inherently governmental decision stays with a human. Engineers can build the software. They can't tell on their own whether it reflects how joint targeting is really done. That judgment is yours. You bring operational targeting experience and the working habits of a product manager, and you turn joint targeting doctrine, JFE and JTCB workflows, and target development standards into requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria. You work with a Senior UX Designer, software engineers and architects, and a Technical Program Manager who owns backlog priority and government acceptance. You own whether what gets built is operationally right. Requirements are still forming, and much of the team has never worked in targeting. The recommendations this capability produces will also be independently assessed for quality, so output that merely looks reasonable won't hold up.
Responsibilities
- Give the team an accurate picture of how USPACOM targeting runs today.
- Turn targeting doctrine and decision authority into requirements the team can build and test.
- Prove that recommendations hold up before a commander sees them.
- Make operator feedback what steers the product.
Requirements
- Proven ability to drive progress and create clarity in fast moving, ambiguous environments.
- Ability to maintain required TS/SCI access.
- Done targeting work at a combatant command, the Joint Staff, a component, or an Air Operations Center: target development, target systems analysis, or combat assessment.
- Worked inside a JFE or JTCB process and can explain how its decisions get made.
- Owned requirements for a digital product.
- Led discovery, wrote user stories and acceptance criteria, and shaped a backlog a delivery team built from.
- Explained the basis, assumptions, and limits of a targeting recommendation to people outside targeting.
- Worked with UX and engineering teams through refinement, reviews, and demonstrations in Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, or a similar agile approach.
- Worked in DoW, Joint, combatant command, Navy/NIWC, or CDAO mission environments, including government milestone reviews or acceptance processes.
- Familiar with AI-enabled decision support, explainability, and human-machine teaming.
- Experience with Maven Smart System or Joint Targeting Toolbox is a plus.
- Use Jira, Confluence, or comparable product and agile delivery tools.
