Program Manager Security Clearance

Position: Program Manager with Security Clearance
About the Program
We are hiring for a multi-year prime contract to enhance, sustain, and secure a classified enterprise web application supporting a Department of Defense mission partner. The platform serves a large community of users and is engineered with a modern stack:
Angular/React front ends, Java/Python/Node.js services, containerized microservices, Postgre

SQL and Elasticsearch data stores, and CI/CD deployment into a government cloud environment. The program runs Agile, ships regularly, and operates under a formal Risk Management Framework (RMF) accreditation. About the Role
You will lead the team end-to-end — owning delivery, staffing, customer relationships, compliance, and financial performance for a multi-year engagement. This role will also serve as the Assistant Information System Security Officer (ISSO) for the platform. What You'll Do

• Maintain organizational and administrative control of the program to ensure all deliverables meet contract specifications and schedule.

• Serve as the primary interface to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and government stakeholders.

• Manage staffing — including SCI nominations, replacements, and notifications for any key personnel changes.

• Oversee Agile delivery cadence, quality metrics, and risk management across a distributed team of developers, engineers, analysts, and systems administrators.

• As the Assistant ISSO, co-own the system's security posture — RMF artifacts, ATO sustainment, STIG compliance, and coordination with the government Chief Information Office on accreditation activities.

• Drive continuous improvement in cost, schedule, technical performance, and customer satisfaction. What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in a related field (four additional years of specialized experience may substitute for the degree requirement).

• Demonstrated experience managing federal software development or IT services contracts, ideally in the DoD or Intelligence Community.

• Strong grounding in Agile program management, earned value concepts, and subcontractor oversight.

• Proven ability to hire, retain, and lead cleared technical talent.

• Excellent written and verbal communication — you will brief the customer, your leadership, and your team with equal clarity. Certifications

• PMP, Agile (e.g., SAFe, CSM), or equivalent program management certification preferred.

• Security+ CE certification or equivalent/higher level DoD 8140 (prev. 8570 IAT Level II) equivalent or higher.
