We support mission‑critical programs in the Intelligence Community and Defense and Civilian sectors with a team of smart, energetic people who like taking on big challenges and are committed to not just checking the box but exceeding client expectations.

The Catapult culture is defined by mutual respect, hard work, and teamwork. We recognize that a great idea can come from anyone at any time, so we encourage innovative thinking and the sharing of ideas.

Catapult was built on the vision of a company that is not a "business as usual" firm. As Catapult experiences remarkable growth in a tough marketplace, we remain committed to our core values of collaboration, dedication, and being a great place to work. We offer competitive salaries, annual performance and salary evaluations, and a strong benefits package.

We are looking for an experienced Project or Program Manager to join our Civilian Healthcare team. The ideal candidate will have experience managing and delivering a range of projects—technical and/or programmatic—for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), specifically within the Operating Divisions that closely align with Catapult’s current and future business, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the Office of Head Start (OHS), the Office of Regional Operations, and the specific Regions.

This person will report to the Vice President of Civilian Programs and will be instrumental in leading day‑to‑day operations of a client project or projects, and will contribute to strategic development for our Healthcare client group. Depending on the scope, size, and nature of these projects, this individual may have responsibility for one or several projects for our Federal Government customers.

PMs managing a single project should be capable of managing a team of up to 30 personnel that might include subcontractors. Day‑to‑day client relationship management is a key component of the role.

We are looking to fill this position immediately. The work location will be in the metro‑Washington D.C. area, ranging from Catapult’s Arlington, Virginia location to a local client site location. We anticipate normal work week and work day hours that generally align with the clients.
