Integrated National Systems (INS), a Business Unit of Northrop Grumman Space Systems Payload and Ground Division (PGSD), is seeking a Deputy Program Manager (DPM) to join our multidisciplinary team of dedicated, diverse professionals supporting the COAST-Next program located in Redondo Beach, CA.

As the selected COAST-Next Deputy PM, you will partner with the PM Director to provide the programmatic, technical and people leadership necessary to support complex ground command and control capabilities at globally distributed operation sites. The COAST-Next program provides factory-based Tier 3/4 operations, maintenance, and sustainment activities across multiple baselines and deployed locations for a USG customer. This includes operations engineering, software, hardware, system engineering, computer security, and infrastructure support to systems deployed to CONUS and OCONUS locations. The COAST-Next program is part of the Ground Solutions and Mission Support (GSMS) organization which tiers into NG Space’s Strategic Space Systems Division (SSSD) and which also supports significant development contracts. GSMS is comprised of professionals from SSSD and the Payload and Ground Systems Division (PGSD) with consolidated teams supporting System Engineering, Hardware, and Software Development.

You will also serve as the manager and leader for ~100 team members who execute the program’s PGSD scope and will report functionally to the PGSD Ground Enterprise Systems Operating Unit Director. Since the specific scope of the program evolves and changes with time depending on customer requirements, you’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate flexible and dynamic leadership.

Key responsibilities include:

• Partner with the PM and the GSMS organization in building and sustaining an effective and engaged cross-divisional team in a complex and dynamic environment.
• Leverage NG’s mission, architecture, and software development expertise to provide forward-thinking solutions that conform to customer constraints (funding, capabilities of related systems, etc.)
• Drive innovation to help the team establish and achieve challenging objectives for modernization, resilience, automation, and affordability.
• Support the PM in developing/conducting program review sessions briefing the customer and/or NG leadership
• Ensure program priorities align with customer expectations, are understood by the team, and reflected in applied resources

• Advance program and NG strategic objectives by building and maintaining trusted relationships with customers and
