  • Develop and maintain the Contractor Project Management Plan (CPMP) and integrated program schedule, including milestones, resources, dependencies, risks, deliverables, and reporting requirements.
  • Coordinate multidisciplinary technical teams, subcontractors, and technology partners to ensure workstreams remain aligned with approved architecture, security requirements, contractual commitments, and VA priorities.
  • Manage program risks, issues, dependencies, and corrective actions, proactively identifying potential impacts to cost, schedule, technical performance, security, and mission outcomes.
  • Monitor program performance against contractual requirements, QASP metrics, KPIs, deliverables, staffing requirements, automation adoption, and knowledge-transfer objectives.
  • Lead monthly program reporting, program reviews, and Quarterly Governance Reviews, providing VA leadership with clear visibility into program health, performance, risks, decisions, and corrective actions.
  • Maintain appropriate staffing and oversee personnel assignments, onboarding, required certifications, background investigations, vacancies, and continuity of program operations.
  • Coordinate activities required to achieve and maintain the VA Authority to Operate (ATO), including RMF documentation, security assessments, POA&M management, and continuous monitoring.
  • Oversee the phased onboarding and adoption of VA infrastructure teams onto the standardized automation platform, driving measurable movement from manual processes toward standardized automation.
  • Lead knowledge transfer, training, operational documentation, and transition-readiness activities to build VA’s ability to independently operate and evolve the automation environment.
  • Manage program performance within the Firm-Fixed-Price contract structure, including labor, travel, subcontractors, software/OEM coordination, deliverables, and resource allocation.

SKILLS THAT DRIVE SUCCESS

  • 10+ years of IT program/project management experience, including at least 5 years leading large, complex Federal technology programs.
  • Experience managing Federal infrastructure modernization, enterprise automation, or similarly complex IT programs.
  • Proven experience leading large, multidisciplinary technical teams supporting enterprise IT environments.
  • Experience managing programs involving infrastructure, cloud/hybrid environments, automation, DevSecOps/IaC, cybersecurity, and IT service management.
  • Experience managing integrated schedules, risks, dependencies, deliverables, staffing, performance metrics, and executive-level reporting.
  • Demonstrated ability to coordinate across engineering teams, technology partners, subcontractors, Government organizations, and executive stakeholders.
  • Experience managing programs that combine commercial software licensing and professional services.
  • Strong understanding of Federal contracting environments and managing delivery against contractual scope, performance requirements, schedules, and commitments.
  • Strong leadership, communication, problem-solving, organizational, and executive stakeholder-management skills.
  • Project Management Professional (PMP) certification required.
  • ITIL v4 Foundation certification required.
  • Must be able to successfully complete and maintain a Tier 4 / High Risk Background Investigation.

WHAT SETS YOU APART

  • Experience supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs OIT or another large, complex Federal IT organization.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, enterprise automation/orchestration, DevSecOps, and Git-based delivery models.
  • Familiarity with Terraform/HashiCorp, Ansible, Red Hat/OpenShift, VMware, ServiceNow, GitHub Enterprise, CyberArk, Splunk, and Dynatrace.
  • Working knowledge of Federal RMF/ATO, NIST 800-37/800-53, FISMA, Zero Trust, FICAM/PIV, and Section 508 requirements.
  • Experience establishing enterprise governance models, KPIs, executive dashboards, risk registers, and continuous-improvement programs.
  • Experience leading organizational change and technology adoption across enterprise infrastructure teams.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT!

  • Make an enterprise-wide impact: Lead a high-visibility modernization initiative transforming how infrastructure is automated and delivered across a complex Federal environment.
  • Shape the future of automation: Help establish scalable, standardized automation capabilities designed to reduce technical debt, improve security, and accelerate infrastructure delivery.
  • Lead across the enterprise: Work alongside VA leadership, engineering, security, architecture, and technology partners to drive meaningful change across teams and environments.
  • Own the outcome: Take a highly visible leadership role with the opportunity to influence program strategy, execution, adoption, and long-term success.
