This individual will champion Agile practices, lead cross-functional coordination, remove delivery impediments, and provide delivery oversight across an assigned portfolio of BAS systems.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Manage non-key Technical Leads and Operations Leads for individual systems within the assigned portfolio subset.
  • Ensure cross-functional collaboration among development, testing, security, and operations teams for all active work assignments.

  • Monitor and report delivery performance, resource utilization, and risks for assigned systems as part of the monthly status-reporting cycle.
  • Support onboarding of new applications into the assigned portfolio subset, ensuring rapid, stable integration without degrading existing service levels.

  • Minimum of 4 years of direct experience managing Agile software development teams in a multi-system portfolio environment.
  • Demonstrated experience managing cross-functional teams supporting concurrent application delivery efforts.

Communication Skills
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present delivery status, risks, priorities, and performance data to technical teams, program leadership, and client stakeholders.
  • Ability to facilitate cross-functional discussions, resolve conflicts, and communicate clearly in a highly confidential environment.
  • Ability to write clear, concise, and accurate reports, status updates, and other program documentation.

Clearance Requirements
