Full Job Description
Program Manager
The Opportunity:

An effective program requires a manager who can guide it through the complexities of its lifecycle-someone who anticipates challenges, mitigates risks, and leads teams with clarity and focus. We are seeking a Program Manager to drive mission-planning modernization across Air Force, Joint, and Coalition environments. This role calls for a leader who understands the mission-planning ecosystem, the shift from legacy workstation-based systems to cloud-native microservices, and the integration of planning tools with C2, intelligence, and threat-driven data sources. You will work directly with customers and a multi-functional team to develop engineering and integration processes, refine existing systems, and lead projects from concept design through development, testing, and deployment. Responsibilities include risk identification and mitigation, quantitative program analysis, budget oversight, schedule development and tracking, scope management, and clear communication with stakeholders. You will coordinate with operational and technical partners across Air Force, Joint, and Coalition communities to ensure alignment with mission priorities, and you will prepare and deliver senior-level briefings, dashboards, and decision materials.

You Have:
  • 12+ years of experience managing large-scale Department of War efforts valued at over $200M
  • Experience with Combat Air Forces or Mobility Air Forces operations
  • Experience with US Air Force mission planning systems requirements analysis, design, development, integration, testing, and operational fielding
  • Knowledge of DoW project or program management practices
  • Ability to engage with clients to collect, understand, and define their IT requirements, analyze and translate those requirements into project plans and milestones, and create realistic resource-loaded schedules to manage and report progress
  • Top Secret Clearance
  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM field
  • PMI, PgMP, or PMP Certification


Nice If You Have:
  • 8+ years of experience managing a dispersed workforce and various functions in support of large-scale DoW efforts
  • Experience supporting AFLCMC, PEO C3BM, or C3M programs
  • Knowledge of Agile, SAFe, and Lean-Agile portfolio practices
  • TS/SCI clearance
  • Master's degree in STEM or Management
  • ITIL 4 Foundation and Managing Professional Framework Certification


Clearance:

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Top Secret clearance is required.
