• Develop, implement, and oversee the Change Management process at the portfolio level, ensuring consistent adoption and compliance across all projects & work streams within the program.
• Serve as the primary Change Management authority for a large‑scale Cloud Hosting program spanning multiple CSPs, ensuring all change activity is governed under a unified, cohesive framework.
• Ensure all projects within the portfolio adhere to established Change Management policies, procedures, and reporting requirements, providing guidance and oversight to project‑level change coordinators as needed.
• Lead the program's transition from a pre‑deployment approval model (TRB/CAB) to an agile‑aligned model where work is approved through sprint planning and PI planning, with the CAB serving as the implementation gateway rather than a development approval body.
• Chair and facilitate CAB meetings, ensuring changes are properly documented, reviewed, risk‑assessed, and approved prior to implementation.
• Collaborate with program leadership, PMO, and project teams to align Change Manage process with Agile delivery cadences, including sprint ceremonies and PI Planning events.

• Establish and maintain Change Management documentation including policies, standard operating procedures, change templates, and reporting dashboards.
• Monitor and report on change compliance, change success rates, backout/rollback activity across all program projects, providing regular metrics and trend analysis to program leadership and the PMO.
• Identify process gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement across the change lifecycle and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Ensure Change Management processes are compatible with and responsive to DoD and Federal compliance requirements, integrating relevant framework requirements (DESMF, RMF, etc) alongside ITIL best practices.

• Requires a Bachelors degree and 12+ years of prior relevant experience or a Masters with 10+ years of prior relevant experience; additional years of experience will be accepted in lieu of a degree.
• Must have an active Secret clearance.
• U.S. citizenship required.
• Strong background in ITIL service management, with demonstrated experience in designing and implementing Change Management processes in complex, multi‑project environments.
• Experience with Jira, Service Now, and/or Git Lab required.
• Familiarity with DoD acquisition and program management frameworks including DESMF, waterfall, and agile methodologies, with the ability to operate effectively within a hybrid governance environment.
• Experience supporting Agile transformations or transitioning traditional Change Management processes to align with Agile/SAFe delivery models, including integration with PI Planning and sprint-based workflows.
• Familiarity with cloud environments & multi‑CSP architectures, with an understanding of change risk considerations unique to cloud‑hosted infrastructure.
• Strong facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills with the ability to include compliance and process adoption across multiple teams without direct authority.
• Demonstrated strong written communication skills with the ability to produce both formal process documentation (SOPs, policies) and informal reference materials (job aids, quick reference guides) tailored to varied audiences.
• Experience supporting the development of training materials and end‑user guidance preferred.

• ITIL 5 certification.
• Experience with USAF Cloud One or Platform One.
