As a trusted partner to the Federal Aviation Administration, Peraton helps deliver the systems and services that keep our nation's skies safe and connected. We're looking for innovative professionals who thrive in mission-critical environments and are passionate about shaping the future of air traffic management. This is your chance to make an impact on one of the world's most vital transportation infrastructures, working alongside leaders in aviation, engineering, data science, and systems integration.\nAt Peraton, you won't just support the mission - you'll define it.\nSuccessful aviation programs depend on proactive risk management, disciplined oversight, and strong analytical insight. Peraton is seeking an Enterprise Risk Manager to lead enterprise risk, opportunity, and issue management activities supporting high-visibility programs aligned with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This position is ideal for a professional who excels at analyzing complex program environments, identifying cross-program and systemic risk, anticipating potential challenges, and guiding teams toward proactive, strategic solutions.\nThe successful candidate will combine enterprise risk-management expertise with strong quantitative and qualitative analytical skills and practical knowledge of Safety Risk Management (SRM) and Operational Risk Management (ORM). The role requires the ability to move beyond individual program risk registers to identify emerging trends, correlated and cascading risks, schedule and resource conflicts, supplier and technical dependencies, and other enterprise-level conditions that could affect mission delivery.\nWork Location:\nThis position is 100% on-site in Herndon, VA. Candidates must be able to work on-site in Herndon based on program requirements.\nYour Impact:\nIn this role, you will establish and maintain the framework that identifies potential threats, uncovers opportunities, and ensures program and enterprise risks are recognized and mitigated before they impact mission delivery. You will work closely with program leadership, engineering teams, schedulers, safety professionals, supply-chain stakeholders, and operational teams to implement structured, data-informed risk management processes that support operational resilience, regulatory compliance, and executive decision-making.\nEnterprise Risk Management\nDevelop and maintain the Risk, Opportunity, and Issue Management Plan across program portfolios.\nEstablish and manage enterprise risk registers, risk taxonomies, escalation criteria, and tracking mechanisms.\nIdentify potential risks and opportunities affecting program performance, cost, schedule, technical execution, safety, resources, supply chain, and operations.\nConduct risk impact assessments, probability analyses, and other quantitative and qualitative analyses to support informed decision-making.\nIdentify cross-program dependencies, systemic risks, risk concentrations, common-cause risks, and potential cascading impacts across the enterprise.\nDistinguish program-level issues from risks requiring enterprise visibility, escalation, mitigation, or leadership action.\nSafety Risk Management (SRM) & Operational Risk Management (ORM)\nApply SRM and ORM principles to identify hazards, operational risks, controls, mitigations, and residual risk.\nSupport structured evaluation of likelihood, severity, consequence, exposure, and operational impact.\nIntegrate safety and operational risk considerations with broader enterprise program, schedule, technical, resource, and supply-chain risks.\nWork with safety, engineering, operational, and program stakeholders to validate risk statements, assumptions, controls, and mitigation effectiveness.\nGovernance & Compliance\nEnforce risk management policies aligned with federal regulations, agency guidance, contractual requirements, and program governance.\nEnsure compliance with program governance frameworks and applicable regulatory standards.\nSupport program leadership during internal reviews, audits, compliance assessments, and executive governance forums.\nPromote consistent risk definitions, scoring, escalation, ownership, documentation, and closure criteria across the portfolio.\nRisk Mitigation & Strategic Planning\nDevelop and implement risk mitigation strategies, contingency plans, corrective action plans, and risk response options.\nCoordinate cross-functional teams to implement effective risk response strategies.\nMonitor mitigation progress, residual risk, risk acceptance decisions, and timely resolution of issues.\nIdentify emerging risks and recommend proactive solutions to prevent operational disruptions or mission impacts.\nAssess the potential effects of schedule convergence, resource contention, supplier constraints, technology dependencies, and other cross-cutting risk drivers.\nProgram Coordination & Stakeholder Engagement\nCollaborate with program managers, engineers, schedulers, safety professionals, supply-chain teams, and operational stakeholders to identify and manage risks across workstreams.\nFacilitate risk workshops, risk review meetings, and stakeholder validation sessions.\nChallenge assumptions constructively and ensure enterprise risks are supported by defensible evidence and analysis.\nProvide leadership with data-driven insights and recommendations related to program and enterprise risk posture.\nAnalytics, Reporting & Decision Support\nAnalyze quantitative and qualitative data to identify trends, correlations, concentrations, emerging risks, and changes in enterprise exposure.\nIntegrate information from risk registers, Integrated Master Schedules (IMS), technical assessments, operational data, supply-chain information, and stakeholder inputs.\nDevelop risk dashboards, heat maps, trend analyses, executive reports, and briefing materials to communicate enterprise risk status.\nUse structured analytical methods such as scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, risk forecasting, and, where appropriate, probabilistic techniques to improve decision support.\nTranslate complex analytical findings into concise executive-level assessments that clearly communicate what the risk is, why it matters, what could happen, and what action or decision is required.\nTrack and analyze mitigation effectiveness and support leadership decision-making through structured risk analysis and forecasting.\n\nWhy This Opportunity Stands Apart\nThe BNATCS program represents one of the most ambitious aviation modernization initiatives in decades. Risk management in aviation programs requires precision, foresight, analytical rigor, and strategic thinking. This role offers the opportunity to shape how risks and opportunities are identified, analyzed, integrated, and managed across programs that directly support national aviation infrastructure.\nThe mission is consequential.
