Transition Manager - Fort Rucker Aviation Maintenance Services (FRAM II)

V2X Current Openings•Fort Rucker, AL

About The Position

This position is Contingent Upon Contract Award. Working across the globe, V2X builds smart solutions designed to integrate physical and digital infrastructure from base to battlefield. We bring 120 years of successful mission support to improve security, streamline logistics, and enhance readiness. Aligned around a shared purpose, our $3.9B company and 16,000 people work alongside our clients, here and abroad, to tackle their most complex challenges with integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism. The Transition Manager (TM) is the designated authority responsible for planning, executing, and closing out all transition-in activities under the Fort Rucker Aviation Maintenance Services (FRAM II) Contract Logistics Support (CLS) program. The TM leads the structured, low-risk assumption of operations from the incumbent contractor to V2X, ensuring continuity of aviation maintenance, supply chain, quality, and safety operations with zero disruption to Army flight training throughput. The TM works in close coordination with the V2X FRAM II Program Manager (PM), providing detailed transition execution while ensuring full alignment with long-term steady-state sustainment objectives. While the PM retains overall program accountability, the Transition Manager is directly responsible for the execution, control, and successful completion of all transition activities. In addition, the Transition Manager supports pre-award capture and proposal development activities to ensure the transition strategy presented to the Government is executable, compliant, and risk-informed.
