Description

Join the Leidos team on the front lines of digital transformation for the Department of Defense. As the PMO Manager for the Cloud One Architecture and Common Shared Services (ACSS) program, you will lead the Program Management Office function, providing strategic oversight, governance, and operational excellence across multiple programs and projects critical to national defense.

As the PMO Manager, you will provide strategic leadership for the Program Management Office supporting the U.S. Air Force Cloud One Architecture and Common Shared Services (ACSS) portfolio.

In this highly visible role, you will partner with executive leadership, program teams, and Air Force customers to ensure program delivery aligns with organizational objectives, customer requirements, regulatory standards, and mission priorities. This is more than an IT role—it is an opportunity to help secure and advance the nation’s defense technology while supporting the continued transformation of Cloud One.

The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker and proven leader with strong program management expertise and the ability to influence across all levels of the organization to drive business outcomes, operational efficiency, and mission success for the warfighter.

  • Anticipate, assess, and mitigate complex program risks, dependencies, and operational challenges that could impact cost, schedule, performance, or mission delivery.
  • Establish and oversee quality assurance, governance, and performance management processes to ensure deliverables meet contractual, customer, and organizational standards.
  • Drive continuous improvement through the systematic capture, evaluation, and application of lessons learned, best practices, and performance insights.
  • Identify and implement opportunities for automation, process optimization, and improved operational efficiency across the PMO and broader program.
  • Leverage enterprise platforms and tools, including SharePoint, RMT, Costpoint, and Fusion, to improve program visibility, reporting, workflow management, service delivery, and operational efficiency.
