Zantech is looking for a talented IT Service Delivery Manager SME to contribute to the success of our upcoming Operations and Program Management Support Services project for a Hybrid role based out of Ashburn, VA.

• Service Delivery Management & Governance (Intake process design and execution, portfolio lifecycle management)
• Portfolio Management & Resource Allocation (CPIC, TBM, FITARA, IT investment oversight, financial and investment analysis)
