Job Description:

The Material Program Manager (MPM) serves as the primary interface between the High Consequence Missions (HCM) Sector's program execution teams and Parsons' Supply Chain Management function. Supporting the ~$900M High Consequence Missions (HCM) Sector within Parsons' Defense and Intelligence Business Unit, ensures that procurement actions are initiated correctly, move efficiently through the supply chain process, and deliver on time - without compromising Parsons' compliance obligations under its DCMA-approved purchasing system.

This role is embedded within the HCM Sector and reports to HCM Operations leadership, not to Supply Chain Management. The MPM is accountable to program outcomes - delivery timelines, customer commitments, and revenue realization - while serving as a trusted compliance steward who keeps the program side operating within Parsons' approved procurement framework. This is a highly visible, cross-functional role requiring equal measures of technical credibility, procurement process expertise, and interpersonal effectiveness.

The MPM must be as comfortable discussing RF component specifications with a senior engineer as they are negotiating NCSJ language with a procurement buyer.

** What You'll Be Doing:

* Translate complex engineering rationale - component-level specifications, test and evaluation findings, system integration constraints - into defensible procurement language.

* Coordinate pre-solicitation market research in alignment with Parsons' approved procurement procedures, ensuring technical and commercial activities remain appropriately separated

* Work with program teams to develop complete, accurate technical packages (CAD files, specifications, BOMs, statements of work) that enable procurement to solicit accurate quotes on first submission

* Maintain awareness of the HCM supplier base - lead times, capabilities, past performance, and pricing - to support realistic program planning and schedule development

* Establish and maintain a post-PO monitoring cadence - proactively contacting vendors on high-priority or long-lead items and escalating delivery risks to program leadership

* Coordinate with program teams on delivery prioritization when partial shipments or phased deliveries are required

* Support invoice resolution and vendor payment issues in coordination with Accounts Payable and Program Controls

* Identify systemic gaps between program execution needs and Supply Chain Management processes, and develop proposed solutions for leadership consideration

* Participate in weekly procurement coordination meetings with Supply Chain Management as the HCM…
