Job Description
BAE Systems is seeking an exceptional Program Manager for a high-visibility, strategic role supporting the United States Air Force's Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) transition. This is a pivotal opportunity to drive the transition from the legacy Minuteman III to the next-generation Sentinel system. Operating within our Integration Support Contract (ISC), you will directly support the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) ICBM Directorate's newly established Transformation and Infrastructure Division (TID).
About ICBM Transformation

This modernization re-capitalizes the land-based leg of the U.S. nuclear triad, ensuring a credible deterrent against 21st-century adversaries. The Sentinel system will be deployed across the 90th Missile Wing (F.E. Warren AFB, WY), the 341st Missile Wing (Malmstrom AFB, MT), and the 91st Missile Wing (Minot AFB, ND).
The Role
As a Program Manager within the TID, you will support the strategic planning, execution, and oversight of the transition mission. You will serve as a key advisor to the ICBM Directorate executive leadership team and the ISC ICBM Transition Director, ensuring rigorous oversight of cost, schedule, and performance.
