Kentro is hiring for a Project Manager to support the VA ESOM. Kentro is seeking a highly disciplined, senior-level Project Manager to lead a large-scale Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) facility management initiative. The ideal candidate brings extensive senior organizational leadership and direct delivery execution experience. Rather than serving as a technical architect, this leader will protect operational continuity, turn competing facilities and managed-service needs into a funded, sequenced delivery plan, and give client leadership clear choices when access, data, or decisions delay progress.

Location:

Remote - This position can be performed remotely within the United States and will support Eastern Time working hours.

Compensation Range:
The pay range for this position is $160-$180K annually. Kentro determines compensation by evaluating current government contracting and commercial market conditions, as well as the role’s specific requirements. Final salary placement within this range will be based on the candidate’s relevant skills, experience, education, certifications, location, and security clearance level, where applicable.

This Job Description reflects the primary duties of the role; however, it is not intended to be all‑inclusive. Team members may be asked to take on additional responsibilities in alignment with customer expectations, business needs, and Kentro’s culture of collaboration and adaptability.

• Lead the Kentro team sustaining and extending the VBA's deployed facility management environment, driving work through client-approved requirements, data ownership, and release controls.
• Maintain the integrated schedule, staffing forecast, annual operating plan, and cost-to-complete.
• Distinguish funded work from proposed changes and clearly identify dependencies outside Kentro’s control.
• Run backlog, risk, issue, and decision reviews with named owners and due dates, documenting the impact of unanswered decisions and escalating through agreed governance channels.
• Lead readiness and acceptance reviews for data loads, releases, site cohorts, and transition to sustainment, obtaining traceable evidence for all client decisions.
• Protect the 90-day metric-baselining process and monthly performance reviews, reporting unresolved defects, aging work, and provider-attribution limitations honestly.

• Provide decisive, cross-functional leadership to resolve workload conflicts across facilities, reporting, and managed services without bypassing change control.
• Coordinate onboarding, suitability, equipment, access, and phased assignments to ensure authorized personnel arrive only when productive work is ready.
• Manage cross-training, succession planning, and knowledge transfer to sustain team readiness.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for executive government stakeholders, building strong client relationships to ensure successful service delivery.
• Coordinate scope and contractual matters strictly through authorized CO/COR channels, ensuring informal stakeholder direction is never treated as authority to change contract terms.
• Communicate program status, risks, and outcomes…
