Technical Program Manager, Office of the CTO (OCTO)

Company Description

Founded in 1989, SOSi is among the largest private, founder-owned technology and services integrators in the defense and government services industry. We deliver tailored solutions, tested leadership, and trusted results to enable national security missions worldwide.

Job Description

Overview

SOSi is seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead and coordinate high-impact research and deployment programs on AI language technologies in support of government missions. The Technical Program Manager owns the operational and financial substrate behind the Office of the CTO (OCTO) portfolio. You make sure OCTO's program artifacts, including those from Enterprise IT, are clean, reconciled, and increasingly automated, so partners across SOSi can trust what comes out of OCTO. This is a portfolio operations role. You instrument execution, run the operating rhythm, do OCTO's buying, maintain the BOE library, and run continuous financial reporting for OCTO and Enterprise IT. You report directly to the CTO.

OCTO is SOSi's product organization. We build language AI, intelligence platforms, and secure infrastructure for federal civilian, DoD, and IC customers. Our products run across AWS, Azure, OCI, and GCP, including their respective government clouds, spanning IL2 through IL6.

Essential Job Duties

What you own

Portfolio instrumentation. Risk register, dependency map, status reporting. Surface cross-pod and partner dependencies to the Director of Delivery with the evidence to act on them.

Operating rhythm. Weekly Business Integration Meeting, Monthly Product Sync, Gate Reviews, Quarterly Planning. Agendas, action items, decision logs, and briefing materials for CTO engagements with the ELT, customers, and partners.

OCTO buying. All OCTO procurement: POs, PRs, P-card transactions, and cloud ACH billing across AWS, Azure, OCI, and GCP. Reconcile in Costpoint. Resolve invoice and PO discrepancies before they reach Finance. Audit weekly labor for charge code and rate pool integrity across IR&D, B&P, direct, and G&A. Flag unallowable costs against the full set of DCAA cost principles. Validate cloud spend tagging against program budgets. Goal is a clean Costpoint picture Finance can consume without manual rework.

Continuous financial reporting, OCTO and Enterprise IT. A live picture leadership can pull at any time: cost to budget by cost center, SaaS license utilization, cloud allocation across business units, CapEx vs OpEx, and labor roll-ups. No monthly batch.

Become a power user of the BI platform, including Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. The Director of Business Intelligence and her team build the platform and enterprise reporting layer; you build the OCTO-specific reports, financial cuts, and operational dashboards on top. Engineering takes the novel automation that sits outside BI's scope. You also keep OCTO's source data clean enough to automate against. The first year goal is to retire the manual monthly package in favor of continuous reporting on the BI platform.

Enterprise IT planning cycles. Build the artifacts and data flows that feed capital planning, quarterly reviews, and annual IT financial reviews. Find automation that compresses these cycles from quarters to weeks.

IR&D documentation. Contemporaneous documentation of IR&D technical objectives, milestones, and progress, so Finance and Pricing have auditable evidence. The Director of Applied AI owns the technical narrative.

BOE library and capture support. Technical point of contact to the Pricing team for basis of estimate development. Translate technical input from the Director of Delivery, with the Director of Engineering, into BOE-ready artifacts: labor category mapping, WBS structure, rate reconciliation.

Proposal resource and documentation support. OCTO's primary liaison for resource allocation on active pursuits, coordinating with Capture and Pricing on staffing availability, skill coverage, and loading. Maintain the OCTO technical documentation library: past performance, capability statements, architecture descriptions, reusable technical content.

Partner operational coordination. SOW deliverables, license renewals, invoice reconciliation, period of performance, deliverable acceptance, CPARS inputs, integration schedules. Run the operational cadence with partners.
