Program Manager, Lead

The Opportunity:

An effective program requires a manager who is passionate about guiding it through the complexities of its lifecycle. It requires someone who is dedicated to identifying challenges, mitigating risks, and supporting a team with vision and focus. That's why we need you, a seasoned program manager who can ensure our program achieves success.

As a lead program manager on our team, you'll design, implement, and maintain impactful programs by providing overarching leadership, strategic guidance, and day-to-day management of all contractual, technical, and administrative operations. The DoD will trust you to organize and coordinate program objectives, while your team will look to you for direction as they navigate requirements, budget constraints, and staffing challenges. You'll identify opportunities to grow the business by supporting your client's mission. You'll also broaden your expertise in problem management, strategic planning, reviewing contracts, and more. This is your chance to impact defense while sharing your knowledge and expertise in program management methodologies.

What You'll Do:

• Serve as the client's primary point of contact (POC) and interface with senior client stakeholders on all programmatic, technical, and resource-related matters.
• Provide authoritative leadership and direction for all contractor personnel, including task assignment, supervision of technical efforts, and performance management.
• Lead cross-functional and geographically dispersed teams, including multiple CONUS and OCONUS performance locations.
• Ensure quality, timeliness, and efficiency across all aspects of program execution, including technical deliverables, business processes, risk management, and resource planning.
• Develop and oversee project plans, operational procedures, and technical methodologies aligned with mission goals.
• Regularly brief client leadership on project milestones, issues, risks, and mitigation strategies.
• Manage acquisition, employment, and oversight of project resources, including assisting with budgets, staffing, and procurement.
• Possess full authority to commit contractor resources and make binding decisions in response to client concerns and emergent issues.
• Be proactive in identifying and resolving contractual, programmatic, or personnel-related challenges.
