Full Job Description
Description

A call order succeeds or fails on leadership. The Red Gate Group is seeking a Call Order Lead to own delivery, staffing, and performance for a call order supporting a major Intelligence Community customer. You will be the single point of accountability for the team, the customer relationship, and the outcomes, the person who makes sure the right people are in the right seats doing work that meets the mission.

You will lead the people supporting the call order and own their performance. That means setting expectations, managing and developing the team, conducting performance management, and reviewing and approving timecards to ensure accurate and compliant labor charging against the call order. You will identify staffing needs, partner with recruiting to fill them, track your team's security and clearance processing through onboarding, and manage onboarding so the call order stays fully resourced against its requirements.

You will also serve as the primary interface to the government customer and the program office, translating requirements and priorities into execution. You will own the call order's recurring deliverables to the customer, including weekly activity reporting, input to monthly program reporting, and the call order transition plan, and you will track schedule, risk, burn rate, and financial status so you can speak to the health of the call order whenever the customer or the Program Director asks. You will keep delivery aligned to contract requirements and quality standards and drive continuous improvement across the call order. If you lead from the front and measure yourself by your team's results, this is the seat.

Join us. Lead the mission from where it gets delivered.
