This role requires a strong operational mindset, excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage stakeholder expectations, identify risks, and effectively prioritize tasks across multiple locations.
The Program Manager will coordinate daily operations, ensure mission requirements are met, guide and support technical teams, and maintain continuous engagement with government partners. This is a fully on-site role with periodic travel for site support and stakeholder interaction.
Key Responsibilities
Program Leadership & Execution
- Lead planning, coordination, and execution of operational activities supporting DoD cyber missions.
- Maintain awareness of mission priorities and ensure tasks are appropriately sequenced, resourced, and tracked.
- Provide daily oversight of program operations across multiple sites, ensuring performance standards and contractual requirements are met.
- Anticipate challenges, surface issues early, and drive timely resolution.
Stakeholder & Communication Management
- Serve as the primary point of contact for government customers, site leads, and internal leadership.
- Build strong working relationships and maintain open, transparent communication with all stakeholders.
- Capture evolving mission needs and translate them into clear direction for technical teams.
- Deliver concise updates, status briefs, and operational insights to senior government leadership.
Risk & Prioritization
- Identify operational risks, constraints, and resource gaps; elevate issues and coordinate mitigation plans.
- Prioritize workstreams based on mission urgency, stakeholder needs, and program objectives.
- Maintain situational awareness across all locations to ensure the right tasks receive the right focus at the right time.
Team Support & Workforce Readiness
- Support the development and readiness of cyber operators, administrators, and technical staff.
- Provide guidance on training, certification requirements (DoD 8570/8140), and role alignment.
- Foster a collaborative and mission-focused environment across all teams.
Program Administration
- Maintain program schedules, trackers, and documentation using tools such as MS Project, Jira, SharePoint, or Unanet.
- Support staffing actions and onboarding in coordination with HR and operational leads.
- Provide input for program updates or contract adjustments, without requiring financial management expertise.
Requirements
Program & Operations Management
- 8+ years managing technical or cyber-related programs within DoD or federal environments.
- Strong experience with stakeholder engagement, task prioritization, and risk management.
- Proven ability to lead and coordinate multi-site operational teams.
Communication & Leadership

- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust and maintain alignment across diverse stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to lead through influence, maintain momentum, and solve problems in fast-paced environments.

- Ability to grasp technical concepts enough to support decision-making and represent program needs—without needing deep technical specialization.
Education & Certifications
Required
- Bachelor's degree in a STEM technical or analytical field (Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Engineering, Finance or related field.)
- In lieu of a degree, five additional years of experience in project management.
Preferred
- Master's degree in a related field.
