Senior Manager, Delivery

Description

Why Sabel Systems

Sabel Systems designs and delivers digital engineering ecosystems for DoD programs, enabling teams to connect data, systems, and personnel within secure, scalable environments. Our solutions empower programs to make faster decisions, close sustainment gaps, and meet the digital acquisition requirements.

Rather than simply proposing transformation, we implement and operate it at scale. Our method is clear: we orchestrate existing tools into a governing system of record, ensuring government ownership of infrastructure and traceable decisions. There's no vendor lock, no proprietary baselines, and no need for ATO rebuilds during transitions.

Sabel Systems is redefining modern defense acquisition. If you seek to solve complex challenges at scale and want your work to directly accelerate military capability while reshaping the DoD's approach to digital engineering, this is the place for you.

Complexity Simplified. Mission Amplified.

What You'll Do

• Own the end-to-end delivery of an enterprise PLM modernization program, managing scope, schedule, cost to a fixed-price baseline, and contract deliverable submissions
• Coordinate the performance of any subcontractors or teaming partners supporting the program, ensuring all contract deliverables meet quality and compliance standards prior to submission
• Track and report percent-complete, schedule, and cost performance on a weekly cadence against the fixed-price baseline; identify scope creep, unfunded requirements, and change-order needs before they erode program margin
• Own the program's CPARS-facing performance metrics - track leading indicators weekly, report monthly, and drive corrective action before quarterly
• Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) thresholds are at risk of breach
• Own the program risk register and issue log; proactively identify and mitigate risks to schedule, cost, security, and compliance before they become findings
• Working with a Sabel director to manage staffing and resource management for the program team - recruit, onboard, and manage performance of both FFP key personnel and labor-hour staff, and execute personnel substitutions within contractually mandated timelines
• Maintain program documentation and reporting using customer-mandated collaboration tools and internal PM tooling (e.g., Jira, MS Project, SharePoint)
