You'll be the connective tissue between a team of 12-15 engineers and subcontractors and the government customers who depend on what they build. This isn't a coordination role - you're accountable for outcomes the customers actually count on. ##### Responsibilities - Own cost, schedule, and performance (CSP) tracking across the highest-priority contracts, escalating risks before they become problems rather than reporting them after the fact - Serve as primary point of contact for government program offices, running program reviews, status updates, and deliverable coordination - Manage delivery of individual product orders end-to-end: from order intake through production coordination to on-time, on-spec shipment - Coordinate a cross-functional team of 12-15 engineers and subcontractors, translating program requirements into actionable technical tasks and holding the team to delivery commitments - Partner with the Director of Contracts on subcontractor performance and deliverables - technical coordination and quality, not contractual/invoicing ownership - Support capture and proposal efforts as a past-performance and technical credibility resource - Identify and resolve cross-program resource conflicts, working with internal leadership to prioritize when engineering or production capacity is constrained - Maintain program documentation and internal leadership updates on portfolio health ##### Requirements ##### Must-Haves - 5-8 years of program or project management experience, with direct experience managing DoD contracts (cost, schedule, and performance accountability, not just coordination) - Operational/mission experience (prior military service, embedded operator experience, or direct exposure to how units use edge sensor/ISR equipment in the field) - Demonstrated experience serving as primary customer POC to government program offices - running reviews, managing deliverables, handling escalations directly - Active Top Secret clearance, or ability to obtain one - Experience managing cross-functional technical teams (engineers, not just administrative staff) through delivery deadlines - Strong working knowledge of cost/schedule tracking methodology - Excellent written and verbal communication - this person represents the company directly to Joint and Interagency customers ##### Nice-to-Haves - Program Management certification - Experience supporting proposal or capture efforts as a past-performance/technical resource - Familiarity with small-to-mid-size defense contractor environments (vs. large prime bureaucracy) - the pace and ambiguity are different ##### Compensation & Benefits - Health coverage, fully covered - premiums paid 100% for you and your dependents - 401(k) with company contribution - a 4% contribution on your behalf regardless of your own contribution level - Unlimited PTO - average employee takes 3-4 weeks - Annual profit sharing - when the company wins, you share in it directly ##### Process - This is a confidential search. An NDA is required before the company's identity and full role details are shared. We screen for interest at a high level first, then read candidates in once an NDA is in place. *This position supports U.S. Government-related work. Applicants must be U.S. persons.
