This is a U.S. based position. All of the programs we support require U.S. citizenship to be eligible for employment. All work must be conducted within the continental U.S.

About the role

As a Program / Product Manager you will take complete ownership of program health balancing execution, strategy, and relationship management to drive mission success. You will be responsible for leading a fast-moving software development team, ensuring contract deliverables are met while navigating evolving priorities and customer needs. This role requires someone who thrives in ambiguity, is comfortable wearing multiple hats across program, project, and product management, and can effectively bridge the gap between technical teams and customer stakeholders.

Your day will be a dynamic mix of guiding Agile software development cycles, engaging directly with DoD stakeholders to grow customer intimacy, and adapting to shifting requirements to keep the team on track. You will manage product roadmaps, oversee delivery execution, and provide strategic leadership to ensure program success. While deep technical expertise is not required, a strong technical acumen and the ability to learn the product deeply are critical to your effectiveness in this role.

Additionally, you will be a key player in driving future opportunities – collaborating on RFI/RFP responses, shaping long-term strategic initiatives, and positioning the team for sustained success. This is not a narrowly defined or rigid role; instead, it requires someone who is adaptable, proactive, and ready to take ownership of all aspects of program execution.

What we are looking for
  • 5+ years of experience in program, project, or product management with a focus on Agile software development
  • Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, ambiguous environment and drive clarity where needed
  • Proven leadership in software development teams, ensuring execution and alignment with customer needs
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience engaging with senior DoD stakeholders
  • Ability to balance execution and strategy, ensuring both day-to-day success and long-term growth
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies, product road mapping, and program execution
  • STEM degree or equivalent technical acumen – must be able to understand and communicate technical concepts
Highly preferred
  • Experience working with Department of Defense (DoD) customers, with a strong preference for supporting U.S. Army programs and stakeholders
  • Track record of managing program financials, including P&L ownership
  • Agile certification(s)
  • Experience in a software factory environment
  • Familiarity with ATO and RMF processes
Clearance Requirements
  • Active Secret security clearance with ability to obtain and maintain Top Secret/SCI security clearance
Work Type
  • Onsite in Colorado Springs, CO or Tacoma, WA
  • May require up to 25% travel
Salary Range
  • $120,
  • The determination of compensation is predicated upon a candidate's comprehensive experience, demonstrated skill, and proven abilities
What we will offer you
  • Highly competitive salary
  • Fully covered healthcare, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) and company match
  • Take as you need PTO + 11 paid holidays
  • Education & training benefits
  • Generous Referral Bonuses
  • And more!

We're an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
