The Program Manager will partner with federal stakeholders, Product Owners, Technical Leads, and contractor delivery teams to translate mission priorities into executable roadmaps, align cross-functional teams, and deliver secure, scalable technology capabilities. If you prefer to serve as a strategic technology leader who can simplify complex problems, lead through ambiguity, communicate with executives and technical teams, and build high-performing teams focused on measurable mission outcomes, this is the role for you!
In this job you will:

- Translate federal mission priorities and ambiguous requirements into roadmaps, epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, release plans, and actionable delivery tasks.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for the program, making timely decisions, managing escalations, coordinating with Technical Leads, and maintaining delivery momentum.
- Oversee integrated schedule, scope, resources, dependencies, risks, issues, sprint commitments, release milestones, and operational priorities across distributed teams.
- Coordinate technical design, development, testing, security review, deployment, and sustainment for custom applications, UiPath automations, integrations, dashboards, data products, AI prototypes, and production AI solutions.

- Oversee AI solution delivery by coordinating use-case prioritization, data readiness, prototype/model development, evaluation, responsible AI/governance considerations, deployment readiness, and stakeholder adoption.
- Partner with Federal Product Owners, Technical Leads, leadership, security/compliance stakeholders, vendors, and end users to maintain alignment, improve transparency, obtain feedback, and support adoption.
- Remove blockers, manage cross-team dependencies, communicate delivery impacts, identify action items, and drive issues to closure.
- Develop and maintain the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), portfolio inventory, Jira releases/epics/stories, SharePoint artifacts, dashboards, delivery metrics, and risk/issue registers.
- Ensure version control, issue tracking, documentation, peer review, knowledge transfer, DevSecOps practices, and maintainable solution design are used to avoid single points of failure.
- Prepare and deliver executive-ready PowerPoint briefings, dashboards, operational/financial updates, and data-informed recommendations for federal and contract leadership.
- Create an environment that empowers and energizes team members, with a focus on accountability, adaptability, collaboration, continuous learning, and mission outcomes.
- Ensure teams are working on agency mission-driven efforts, proactively anticipate support needed by federal staff, and identify risks or deviations from the plan before they affect delivery.
