Senior Program Manager

Aleknagik Technology, LLC is an 8(a) company that delivers professional, scientific, and technical services and information technology (IT) solutions to federal agencies in life & physical sciences, infrastructure, system & network integration, technology, and other government services. ATL, an Alaskan Native Corporation (ANC), is committed to serving Federal customers while also giving back to the Aleknagik native community and shareholders.

ATL is seeking a hands‑on, results‑driven Senior Program Manager to lead a portfolio of federal programs across the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and federal civilian markets. This position is accountable for three primary outcomes:

The Senior Program Manager will manage programs operating under multiple contract vehicles (IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, Stand Alone Contracts, etc) and contract types (Firm-Fixed-Price, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour, and cost-reimbursement). The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of federal project economics and be able to build bottom‑up cost estimates, manage program budgets, forecast program performance, and take corrective action when financial or operational results deviate from plan.

This individual will serve as a trusted advisor to customers, provide leadership and direction to project and program managers, and work closely with ATL's finance, contracts, operations, capture, and business development teams.

This can be a remote position in any existing and/or potential Federal customer location, with the potential travel of approximately 10% to 45%.

Success in this position will be measured by:

• Accurate budgets, cost estimates, forecasts, and Estimates at Completion.
• Achievement of program revenue, margin, utilization, and cash‑flow objectives.
• Effective management of funding, contract ceilings, and cost exposure.
• On‑time, compliant, and high‑quality delivery of contract requirements.
• Strong CPARS ratings and consistently high customer satisfaction.
• Prompt identification and resolution of program risks and performance issues.
• Clear communication and accountability across customers, employees, subcontractors, and leadership.
• Retention and expansion of existing programs.
• Measurable organic revenue growth and development of qualified opportunities within assigned accounts.

Program Financial and Contract Management

• Maintain accountability for the financial performance of assigned programs, including revenue, cost, margin, funding, cash flow, staffing, and utilization.
• Manage programs and task orders across FFP, T&M/Labor‑Hour, and cost‑reimbursement contract types, as well as GWACs, IDIQs, BPAs, and single‑ or multiple‑award vehicles.
• Develop and validate bottom‑up cost estimates and Bases of Estimate incorporating labor, indirect rates, subcontractors, travel, materials, other direct costs, and program risk.
• Prepare annual budgets, operating plans, monthly forecasts, Estimates to Complete, and Estimates at Completion.
• Monitor actual performance against budget and forecast; analyze cost, schedule, staffing, and utilization variances; and implement corrective actions.
• Track contract funding, ceilings, periods of performance, option years, task‑order limitations, and burn rates to prevent overruns, funding gaps, or unauthorized work.
• Ensure invoices are timely, accurate, adequately supported, and consistent with contract terms and completed services.
• Coordinate with finance and contracts teams to resolve billing, funding, subcontractor, modification, scope, and contract‑administration matters.
• Support contract negotiations and pricing development to ensure costs are competitive, traceable, realistic, and aligned with the technical and staffing approach.
