In this position, your work will have a profound impact on the country's most critical role - protecting our national security.
KBR is seeking an experienced Agile Delivery Manager to support the MSEIT contract at Space Systems Command (SSC). This senior role is responsible for coordinating delivery across three Agile development teams and a system integrator, driving execution within a U.S. Space Force (USSF) software acquisition environment.

The Agile Delivery Manager will lead synchronization across contractors, integrate inputs from multiple teams, and support government stakeholders under SE&I responsibilities. This role is hands-on, delivery-focused, and critical to ensuring outcomes align with operational needs and mission priorities.

The MILSATCOM Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (MSEIT) effort provides leading edge Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I) for the US Space Force's Space Systems Center (SSC). We support the Space Force's acquisition of state of the art satellite communications systems, providing global secure, survivable, and protected communications for our nation's warfighters. We seek technical individuals who will thrive in a highly collaborative work environment of small teams, using the most modern tools and methodologies to tackle the challenges of integrating complex space and ground communications systems.
