  • Develop and refine realistic reporting examples and scenarios for AI training.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience within the U.S. Department of Defense as a uniformed service member, DoD civilian, or both.
  • Experience personally preparing recurring reports or executive updates for senior military or DoD leadership.
  • Experience with reports such as Weekly Activity Reports (WARs), Project/Program Status Reports, Performance/Accomplishment Reports, After-Action Reports (AARs), or Budget Execution Reports.
  • Background in military operations, plans, headquarters/command staff, program management, executive support, or resource management.
  • Strong written communication skills and experience synthesizing inputs from multiple teams into clear, concise reporting.
  • Experience as an Operations Officer/NCO, Plans Officer, Action Officer, Staff Officer, Executive Officer, or similar headquarters role is a plus.
