Description

The Project Manager will own day-to-day scope, schedule, budget, and resourcing; serve as the primary interface with the customer for requirements and status; and ensure that engineering work is properly defined, tracked, validated, and verified against the contract statement of work. The Project Manager shall act as a scrum master / product owner / business-analyst hybrid, comfortable translating government customer requirements into clear, semi-technical artifacts that engineers can implement, and equally comfortable enforcing the discipline required to deliver on a firm fixed price and/or Other Transaction Authority (OTA) engagement.

Key Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day scope, schedule, and budget.
• Allocate resources across the team and assign tickets to engineers and other contributors in line with program priorities.
• Run the team’s agile cadences (standups, planning, refinement, reviews) and serve as scrum master / product owner hybrid for day-to-day execution.
• Track progress against milestones and surface risks, blockers, and dependencies early.
• Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact with the government customer for status, coordination, and requirements clarification.
• Elicit, clarify, and document customer requirements—translating them into clear, semi-technical artifacts (user stories, acceptance criteria, specifications) that engineers can implement.
• Maintain a living requirements traceability matrix that ties delivered work back to the contract statement of work.
• Build and sustain credibility with the customer by speaking the customer’s language and operating fluently within their processes.
• Perform validation and verification of completed work to ensure deliverables meet documented requirements and customer expectations before release.
• Produce monthly status reports and other contractually required documentation.
• Define and track internal KPIs and program metrics;
• Maintain a culture of continually tying day-to-day work back to the contract statement of work, particularly given the realities of firm fixed price and OTA engagements.

Requirements

• Active Top Secret Clearance Required
• Minimum five (5) years of project management experience, with significant time spent delivering software programs.
• Demonstrated experience as a scrum master, product owner, or hybrid agile delivery lead on modern software development teams, with the judgment to apply agile and product practices rather than defaulting to heavy waterfall documentation.
• Strong business-analyst skill set: proven ability to elicit requirements from customers and translate them into clear, semi-technical artifacts that engineers can implement.
• Experience owning scope, schedule, budget, and resourcing on a software program, including assigning and tracking work at the ticket level.
• Working knowledge of government systems and federal contracting environments.
• Familiarity with the cybersecurity frameworks under which federal software systems are deployed and accredited.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to interface professionally with government customers and translate between customer and engineering audiences
• Prior experience supporting Department of Defense programs, including familiarity with DoW project management conventions, terminology, and customer expectations.
• Experience delivering on firm fixed price contracts and/or Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements, including managing scope discipline and requirements traceability over the life of the contract.
• PMP certification or equivalent program/project management credential.
• Experience supporting AI/ML, Test & Evaluation, or related missions
• Background that bridges traditional project management with modern software delivery practices (CI/CD, DevSecOps, site reliability engineering).
