The Project Manager provides day-to-day operational oversight, ensuring tasking is clearly communicated, priorities are aligned across teams, and execution remains synchronized across multiple CLINs.

• Support planning and execution of work across multiple CLINs, ensuring new and existing capabilities are integrated effectively.

• Facilitate customer planning meetings, technical exchanges, and program reviews to maintain alignment with mission objectives .

• Maintain real-time situational awareness of team activities, dependencies, risks, and resource constraints.

• Identify and resolve cross-team issues related to scope, schedule, staffing, or changing requirements.

• Enable effective communication and coordination between SIs, developers, analysts, and government stakeholders.

• Support development and maintenance of execution-focused program artifacts such as schedules, plans, and status summaries.

• Work in parallel with contract management staff while remaining focused on operational delivery rather than administrative reporting.

Minimum Qualification s:

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Project Management, Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering), or equivalent experience in lieu of degree.

• Minimum of 7 years of professional experience supporting technical programs or projects.

• Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple teams or vendors in a complex technical environment.

• Proven ability to manage priorities and tasking across engineering, analytics, or geospatial teams.

• Strong experience working directly with government stakeholders in an on-site role.

• Willingness to work onsite full time in McLean, VA.

Preferred Qualification s:

• Experience coordinating or leading work across multiple integrators or subcontractors.

• Experience supporting software engineering, data science, or geospatial programs.

• Familiarity with Agile or iterative development environments.

• Experience working across multiple CLINs or funding lines.

• Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.

• Experience supporting high-visibility or mission-critical programs within the Intelligence Community.

• Familiarity with Jira or similar tools for execution tracking and situational awareness.
