Technical Program Manager Security Clearance

Position: Technical Program Manager with Security Clearance
Description & Requirements Maximus is hiring a deeply technical, forward-thinking Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead a large-scale, mission-critical federal financial program that serves millions of public users. You will own strategy → delivery → operations for a secure, high-availability platform in a hybrid FedRAMP environment-driving ingestion, validation, search, and dissemination of high-value financial data with 99.99% uptime expectations. Ideal candidates bring hands-on credibility with modern cloud architectures, NIST/FISMA/FedRAMP control automation, and experience working with federal financial sector agencies or closely related regulators.

What You'll Do
* Program Leadership & Strategy:
Define and deliver a multi-year roadmap aligned to agency mission-prioritizing resilience, performance, and user outcomes. Translate policy and regulatory drivers into measurable technical objectives, OKRs, and SLOs.

* End-to-End Delivery:
Orchestrate complex, cross-functional work across 20-40 services (ingestion, validation/rules engines, taxonomy services, indexing/search, dissemination). Drive schedules, budgets, resourcing, and critical path with crisp dependency management.

* Technical Authority:
Lead deep dives with architects/engineers on Red Hat Open Shift Platform, AWS Gov Clou, event/streaming patterns, storage/indexing, API design, observability, and cost/performance trade-offs. Champion patterns like blue-green/canary, idempotent pipelines, and strangler-fig modernizations.

* Regulatory Reliability:
Engineer for market-hour spikes and public traffic surges. Set SLIs/SLOs for ingestion throughput, validation success rate, search latency, and dissemination freshness; manage error budgets to gate releases.

* Risk & Dependency Management:
Maintain a living risk register and dependency board; run design/operational reviews; institute circuit breakers, feature flags, and runbooks to minimize blast radius during incidents.

* Compliance & Security by Design:
Embed NIST 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP controls into delivery: policy-as-code, artifact signing/SBOM, KMS/HSM-backed encryption, least-privilege access, OMB M-21-31 logging posture, and audit-ready evidence capture. Ensure Section 508 accessibility.

* Data Quality & Lineage:
Govern taxonomy/rules versioning (e.g., XBRL/Inline XBRL), data provenance from submission → validation → dissemination, and automated reconciliation-so corrections are tracked and verifiable.

* Vendor/Subcontractor Leadership:
Define interface contracts, SLAs/SLOs, and acceptance criteria for specialized components (taxonomy/rules, search/indexing, scanning). Drive crisp handoffs and MTTR discipline.

* Operational Excellence:
Stand up on-call rotations, incident playbooks, post-incident reviews, and capacity/chaos testing. Use Open Telemetry/Splunk/ELK/Rapid7 (or equivalent) for full-stack visibility.

* Agile at Scale & Continuous Improvement:
Run a practical Agile/Scrum/SAFe cadence. Instrument the delivery system (lead time, change failure rate, mean time to restore) and iterate on golden paths, templates, and guardrails. What Success Looks Like
* 90 days:
Program baseline established-SLOs/SLIs and error budgets defined; dependency map and risk register in place; ATO evidence pipeline and 508 plan integrated into delivery.

* 180 days:
First zero-downtime taxonomy/rules update shipped; incident playbooks exercised; golden paths and policy-as-code guardrails adopted by all teams.

* 12 months:
Demonstrable improvements in p95 latency, ingestion success rate, dissemination freshness, and MTTR; successful audits with automated evidence; two+ legacy components retired via strangler-fig. Why Maximus Join a mission-first team modernizing critical public services at national scale. You'll partner directly with federal financial stakeholders, shape the technical agenda, and deliver measurable outcomes for millions of users-safely, reliably, and fast.
