Position Summary

Crowned Grace International (CGINTL) seeks a Program Manager with federal agency change management experience. This position provides change leadership and strategic direction for the organization's acquisition workforce modernization-setting the Change Management Strategy, driving stakeholder alignment, and translating policy and process changes into sustained behavioral adoption across program offices.

  • Develop, own, and maintain the Change Management Program Plan, stakeholder engagement strategy, communication schedule, and performance monitoring framework.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) regarding all task order coordination; personally attend every biweekly check-in meeting.
  • Lead stakeholder impact analysis, resistance mitigation planning, and reinforcement strategies involving CORs, project/program managers (P/PMs), technical leads, and other stakeholders identified by the organization.
  • Deliver the Change Management Program Plan and Staffing Plan within three business days of the award; submit the Quality Control Plan within ten calendar days.
  • Facilitate executive-level briefings, workshops, and working groups to raise awareness and promote the adoption of modernization initiatives.


Minimum Qualifications
  • BA/BS in business, organizational development, public administration, or related field
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen.
  • Minimum of 8 years' acquisition experience required.
  • Change management certification - Prosci, ACMP CCMP, or equivalent, or PMP, or a comparable federal acquisition project/program management credential from FAI or DAWIA.
  • Five (5) or more years leading or supporting structured organizational change, modernization, or workforce transformation within federal agencies or complex organizations.
  • Demonstrated experience conducting stakeholder impact assessments, developing change strategies, and facilitating adoption of new processes or operating models.
  • Experience leading cross-functional engagement and facilitating workshops, briefings, and executive-level discussions.
  • Documented experience providing strategic advisory, organizational transition support, or change management services.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Teams, MS Project or equivalent, and Smartsheet or equivalent.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain the personnel security level the Government determines, including a high-risk background investigation if required.


Preferred Qualifications
  • MBA
  • Both a change management certification and PMP.
  • Direct experience with FAC-COR or FAC-P/PM certification programs or federal acquisition workforce development.
  • Prior HHS or ACF experience; familiarity with OMAS ordering practices.
  • Experience standing up a change program under a firm-fixed-price construct with deliverables due within days of award.

Leading at CGINTL - Values in Action

  • Accountability. The PM owns the result. Our Leaders take responsibility for the success of the vision, mission, and strategy - and we hold a no-excuse-here mindset. On a FFP task order where savings and overruns both stay with us, that ownership is financial as well as operational.
  • Integrity & Trust. Always the first to tell the truth. The PM surfaces a slipping deliverable or an adoption problem to the COR before the COR finds it - that is how trust is earned, and trust is the foundation of a change management engagement.
  • Organizational Influence. Business acumen through organizational agility, political savvy, and time management. Reading ACF's political landscape and sequencing change accordingly is the job.
  • Marketplace Ministry. This work is a calling. Our client's mission is the well-being of children and families; every hour of acquisition capability we build is an hour that mission runs better.
