Program Manager

The Opportunity: 

An effective program requires a manager who is passionate about guiding it through the complexities of its lifecycle. It requires someone who is dedicated to identifying challenges, mitigating risks, and supporting a team with vision and focus. That’s why we need you, a seasoned program manager who can ensure our program achieves success.

As a lead program manager on our team, you’ll design, implement, and maintain impactful programs by guiding a dynamic team responsible for developing, integrating, and testing digital solutions to create emerging technologies and products for the next generation Warfighter.

You'll perform as a senior member in our elite Digital Battlespace Platform (DBP) team to lead our engineering efforts and build next generation technologies for our defense clients. You'll serve as a Special Operations advisor and Operational Subject Matter Expert (SME). You'll work alongside leadership to ensure Soldier solutions are fully integrated to increase business capability and value, reduce cost and risk, foster innovation, and maximize accountability and return on investment. You'll interact frequently with internal and external management and senior-level customer representatives concerning Booz Allen client projects, operational decisions, scheduling requirements, and contractual clarifications. You'll advise organizational leadership on how to implement emerging technologies and work alongside leadership to ensure Soldier solutions are fully integrated on a continuous basis to increase mission capability and value to our clients. You'll maintain responsibility for planning and managing programs in conjunction with the client to execute the development of a complex program from design phase through implementation. You'll interpret identified configuration management and documentation requirements and convert to program deliverables. You'll ensure effective communication between technical and non–technical functions within the program. You'll coordinate and document project schedules, monitor budget, and assign tasks in accordance with client requirements. You'll also keep the client informed of key issues and changes which may impact expected project results.

Defense clients will trust you to organize and coordinate program objectives, while your team will look to you for direction as they navigate requirements, budget constraints, and staffing challenges. As an authority in the DBP Account, you’ll identify opportunities to grow the business by supporting your client’s mission. You’ll also broaden your expertise in problem management, strategic planning, reviewing contracts, and more. This is your chance to impact engineering efforts for our defense clients while sharing your knowledge and expertise of program management methodologies. 

Work with us as we help build next generation technologies for our defense clients.
