Due to frequent interaction with customers the Senior Advisor works
closely with other ATO operational directorates and other FAA organizations to influence decisions that directly or indirectly impact operational efficiency.
Serves in a senior leadership position that influences a highly technical multi-layered workforce by facilitating the integration of air traffic services from multiple organizations and advocating the tactical use of concepts and technologies to advance the strategic goals of the FAA. Coordinates the work with multiple organizational units and projects, and across multiple functions and/or disciplines, within the assigned facilities. The advisor will work with the Group Managers of the service centers, District Managers (DMs) and facility Air Traffic
Managers (ATM) under a shared services concept and with the cooperation of field facility managers.
Applies experience and expert technical knowledge of air traffic flow management procedures and operations to ensure that traffic flow plans are integrated with the operational philosophy of System Operations, the ATO and FAA. Maintains situational awareness of the national airspace to ensure the immediate and proper initiation of traffic management programs.
