Senior Program Manager

Role Overview

Senior Program Manager to support the ATLAS / MOSSAIC program. The position is remote, with a preference for candidates based in Colorado Springs, Albuquerque, or Washington DC. You will lead technical program execution across multiple workstreams, personnel teams, and finance requirements supporting agile development and mission-focused capabilities.

What You’ll Do

• Act as the primary point of contact for government customers and/or prime contractors, leading program execution and communications across all phases.
• Own and manage the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) (development, maintenance, execution of schedule baselines) and ensure alignment across teams, subcontractors, and customer milestones.
• Develop, maintain, and control the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and program baselines, ensuring traceability between scope, schedule, cost, and deliverables.
• Manage end-to-end program execution from PWS baseline through task order delivery, meeting cost, schedule, technical, and quality objectives.
• Oversee Agile planning and execution: sprint planning, backlog prioritization, increment planning, and integration with IMS milestones.
• Coordinate program controls: cost forecasting, schedule performance tracking, earned value (as applicable), risk/opportunity management, and change control; partner with Contracts, Finance, and Security.
• Ensure compliance with program and contractual requirements, including milestone reviews, systems engineering processes, cybersecurity (e.g., RMF), and configuration/change management and data deliverables.
• Forecast customer needs, derive requirements, and develop/coordinate task order execution plans aligned to priorities and funding profiles.
• Support pre-RFP / pre-award capture (as needed): solution shaping, technical strategy, ROM inputs, basis of estimate support, risk identification, transition planning, and proposal execution.
• Direct and integrate work across multiple technical domains (e.g., development, modeling, systems engineering, cloud infrastructure, ops).
• Identify, assess, and manage technical/schedule/programmatic risks; provide data-driven recommendations and early warning indicators.
• Drive collaboration with stakeholders via demonstrations, planning sessions, and reviews.
• Oversee staffing, resource allocation, risk management, and performance tracking across workstreams.
• Provide regular progress reporting: status briefings, milestone documentation, and deliverable submissions.
• Champion disciplined program management practices, transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.

What the Team Requires

• U.S. citizenship and Active Top Secret (TS) clearance with SCI and SAP eligibility.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, business management, or related field.
• 7+ years managing complex $10M+, multi-year DoD/federal programs involving software development, solution delivery, or system integration.
• Demonstrated experience managing programs involving space or satellite ground systems (e.g., mission management, telemetry/data processing, or space weather monitoring).
• Strong knowledge of ground system architecture, including data ingest pipelines and cloud-based operations.
