  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, operations, finance, compliance, and client-facing teams
  • Lead and mentor a team of senior program and project managers, ensuring alignment with strategic business objectives
  • Build and maintain trusted relationships with high-level stakeholders, including government customers and subcontractors
  • Represent the organization during executive-level program reviews, audits, and milestone meetings

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in program or portfolio management
  • Strong background in DoD contracting and familiarity with DFARS, FAR, Earned Value Management (EVM), and related compliance standards
  • Experience managing very large and complex programs , ideally with a total value exceeding $100M
  • Prior experience working with or for major government contractors or “big players” in defense (e.g., Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, SAIC, Booz Allen, etc.)
  • Proven ability to lead teams in a matrixed and highly regulated environment
  • Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s degree or PMP certification is highly desirable
  • U.S. citizenship is required due to the nature of government contracts

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Strategic and operational leader with deep understanding of government program lifecycles
  • Ability to operate with urgency and precision in a mission-critical, high-stakes setting
  • Strong communicator and influencer capable of working with internal executives and external agencies
