Odyssey Systems has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Program Manager providing support to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/C3M), Mission Planning Division.

The Mission Planning Division (AFLCMC/C3M) leads the development, modernization, and sustainment of enterprise Mission Planning Systems (MPS) supporting all U.S. Air Force aviation platforms.

Working closely with program managers, developers, industry partners, and the user community, the team is shaping the future of agile, modern mission planning.
