What We're Looking For:

We are looking for a hands-on, accountable leader - not an administrator.

The Alternate Site Manager must be comfortable walking the operation, talking with employees and supervisors, reviewing workload and performance data, identifying emerging problems, and making decisions that keep the mission moving. The right candidate understands that successful contract performance requires more than meeting minimum requirements; it requires anticipating problems, communicating early, maintaining strong relationships with the customer, and holding the organization accountable for results.

The Alternate Site Manager must establish a culture where quality, safety, accountability, productivity, and customer service are everyone's responsibility.

Most importantly, the Alternate Site Manager must be able to balance competing priorities—mission execution, workforce management, quality, safety, compliance, customer expectations, and cost control—while maintaining a professional and collaborative relationship with DLA leadership.
