Protect our Land, Ascend with Us!

SCENSION is seeking experienced, highly dependable Administrative Operations Leads / Operations Research & Management Analyst II professionals to provide mission-critical escort coordination and operational support to the Department of Defense’s Office of Military Commissions.

This opportunity is best suited for professionals who combine strong administrative and operational coordination skills with the judgment, professionalism, discretion, situational awareness, and interpersonal maturity required to work in controlled Federal and military environments. The successful candidate must be comfortable interacting with a diverse population that may include Government officials, military personnel, victims and family members, witnesses, non-governmental organization representatives, members of the media, panel members, installation security personnel, and other authorized visitors.

This is not a traditional security guard position. The role is better understood as an administrative operations, visitor movement, access coordination, and mission-support position. The individual helps ensure that authorized personnel arrive at the appropriate locations, satisfy applicable access requirements, receive necessary information, follow established OMC and installation procedures, and are appropriately supported throughout hearings, trials, and CCTV viewing activities.

The ideal candidate is organized and calm under pressure, exercises sound judgment without constant supervision, anticipates operational issues before they disrupt proceedings, communicates clearly, safeguards sensitive information, and can manage changing schedules and priorities in environments where accuracy and procedural compliance matter.

Position Summary

The Administrative Operations Lead / Operations Research & Management Analyst II will support Task Area 6, Escort Support Services, providing administrative, logistical, visitor-access, transportation-coordination, CCTV-site, and operational support for OMC hearings and trial activities.

Task Area 6 may be performed throughout the National Capital Region; Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; Fort Devens, Massachusetts; Fort Hamilton, New York; Fort Meade, Maryland; Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey; the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia; Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia; and potentially other locations throughout the United States where OMC establishes CCTV viewing sites.

The position requires flexibility because escort activities are driven by the commissions schedule rather than a conventional Monday-through-Friday workload. The PWS establishes normal operations from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time but specifically requires escort capability between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Personnel may occasionally work staggered schedules, weekends, Federal holidays, or other alternative schedules in support of court or trial activities.

Successful personnel will combine administrative coordination with disciplined execution of site access procedures, visitor accountability, transportation coordination, event readiness, information protection, and immediate escalation of operational or security issues.
