Job Description
About the Program We are hiring for a multi-year prime contract to enhance, sustain, and secure a classified enterprise web application supporting a Department of Defense mission partner. The platform serves a large community of users and is engineered with a modern stack: Angular/React front ends, Java/Python/Node.js services, containerized microservices, PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch data stores, and CI/CD deployment into a government cloud environment. The program runs Agile, ships regularly, and operates under a formal Risk Management Framework (RMF) accreditation. About the Role You will lead the team end-to-end — owning delivery, staffing, customer relationships, compliance, and financial performance for a multi-year engagement. This role will also serve as the Assistant Information System Security Officer (ISSO) for the platform. What You'll Do Maintain organizational and administrative control of the program to ensure all deliverables meet contract specifications and schedule. Serve as the primary interface to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and government stakeholders. Manage staffing — including SCI nominations, replacements, and notifications for any key personnel changes. Oversee Agile delivery cadence, quality metrics, and risk management across a distributed team of developers, engineers, analysts, and systems administrators. As the Assistant ISSO, co-own the system's security posture — RMF artifacts, ATO sustainment, STIG compliance, and coordination with the government Chief Information Office on accreditation activities. Drive continuous improvement in cost, schedule, technical performance, and customer satisfaction. What You Bring Bachelor's degree in a related field (four additional years of specialized experience may substitute for the degree requirement). Demonstrated experience managing federal software development or IT services contracts, ideally in the DoD or Intelligence Community. Strong grounding in Agile program management, earned value concepts, and subcontractor oversight. Proven ability to hire, retain, and lead cleared technical talent. Excellent written and verbal communication — you will brief the customer, your leadership, and your team with equal clarity. Certifications PMP, Agile (e.g., SAFe, CSM), or equivalent program management certification preferred. Security+ CE certification or equivalent/higher level DoD 8140 (prev. 8570 IAT Level II) equivalent or higher.
