This position requires an active Secret clearance with the ability to obtain a Top-Secret.

• Deliver your portion of a fast-moving technical program in direct support of the warfighter.
• Operate like a technical program manager focused exclusively on execution—driving outcomes, milestones, schedule, scope, risk, and cross-functional coordination.
• Translate mission needs into clear delivery plans, align engineers and operators, and remove blockers.
• Run a delivery cadence: backlogs, sprint planning, stand-ups, demos, and retrospectives.
• Build and brief delivery status decks at the GO/SES level.
• Proactively solve unusual and/or complex problems with little, or no direction given.
• Thrive in a fast-paced technical environment that prioritizes speed and mission impact over bureaucracy.
• Expert with Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Word; fluent in modern delivery tooling (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, GitHub).

Qualifications

• Active Secret clearance required with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top-Secret clearance.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience leading the delivery of technical projects or programs, including software, data, or AI/ML capabilities.
• Skilled in modern project and product management techniques (Agile, Scrum, Kanban) and best practices for risk, schedule, and dependency management.
• Ability to communicate at the GO/SES level and translate between technical teams and senior government stakeholders.
• Ability to function with little or no guidance in a fast-paced technical operations environment supporting a 2-star level mission partner.
• Experience coordinating cross-functional teams (engineering, data, design, operations) to deliver against fixed milestones.
• Experience supporting Special Operations.

Desired Qualifications

• Master’s Degree.
• Active DoD Top-Secret Clearance.
• Project or Product Management certifications such as PMP or PMI-ACP.
• Prior military experience, ideally with time in a Special Operations unit.
• Experience delivering technical capabilities directly to operational end users.
• Familiarity with software development lifecycles, cloud environments, and AI/ML delivery.

Benefits

• Target Salary Range: $164,000 - $250,000.
