This role requires extensive experience in managing complex federal defense projects, Agile software development, and DevSecOps pipelines, with a focus on delivering mission-critical systems for U.S. national security.

Ansvarsområden

  • Lead execution of a large-scale enterprise software integration project for a critical missile defense customer, transitioning from phase one prototype to phase two production delivery.
  • Build and manage the integrated master schedule, project plans, and backlog in partnership with technical leads and a coalition of partner project managers.
  • Staff and direct a multidisciplinary team including internal engineers, subcontractors, and consultants, ensuring alignment across all delivery workstreams.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for government stakeholders, leading milestone reviews, status briefings, and decision-support sessions with senior defense leadership.
  • Manage DevSecOps execution including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, secure deployments, and compliance with DoD cybersecurity frameworks like RMF and STIGs.
  • Proactively identify and mitigate risks across technical, schedule, and integration domains, working with partners to resolve issues before they impact delivery.
  • Coordinate cross-functional execution across sales, operations, finance, legal, and delivery teams to ensure commitments translate into successful outcomes.

Krav

  • Bachelor's or Master's in Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or related technical discipline, advanced degree strongly preferred.
  • 15+ years leading complex federal aerospace and defense projects including software development, systems integration, or technical product delivery.
  • Experience managing Agile software development projects including backlog management, sprint planning, and iterative delivery in defense environments.
  • Hands-on experience with DevSecOps pipelines, CI/CD tooling, automated testing, and secure deployments in classified or controlled environments.
  • Direct experience supporting Missile Defense or Space Operations programs, familiarity with MDA systems engineering practices and DoD 5000 acquisition processes is a strong plus.
  • Proficiency with program management and delivery tools such as Monday.com, Jira, GitLab, Azure DevOps, or similar platforms.
  • Comfortable working in classified environments, navigating JWICS, SIPRNet, and SCIF operations as part of normal program execution.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • Ability to walk into a program review with incomplete data, assess what is missing, and still provide leadership with a clear recommendation and path forward.
  • Experience managing subcontractors and partners, holding them accountable without micromanaging or creating friction.
  • Ability to explain a technical tradeoff involving cybersecurity compliance and deployment architecture to a government program manager in two sentences without losing the nuance.
  • Operate autonomously, prioritizing across competing demands and making sound decisions without waiting for someone to tell you what matters most.
  • Experience building integrated master schedules and project plans for multi-organization efforts, understanding the difference between a schedule that drives execution and one that just looks good in a briefing.

Förmåner

  • Annual bonus, equity, and other discretionary bonuses may be eligible.
  • Comprehensive health, wellness, and financial benefits.
  • Competitive total rewards package.
