Senior Program Manager - VA Digital Modernization & AI Program

LMI is seeking a Senior Program Manager to serve as the highly embedded, day-to-day program leader for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) digital modernization and artificial intelligence program. This full-time role is the visible prime point of accountability for integrated execution, customer coordination, staffing, subcontractor performance, risk, schedule, quality, financial health, and partner integration.

The Senior Program Manager will lead and coach an approximately 20+ person LMI team plus an integrated subcontractor team spanning program management, human-centered design, data and analytics, clinical informatics, architecture, engineering, governance, quality assurance, change, and adoption. The program operates through an integrated delivery model that connects use-case discovery and prioritization, solution design, piloting, implementation, measurement, and continuous improvement across multiple concurrent work streams.

The Senior Program Manager will ensure these disciplines operate as one coordinated team, with clear priorities, defined accountability, strong cross-functional collaboration, and consistent focus on mission outcomes.

This role also carries an important account-growth responsibility. The Senior Program Manager is expected to build trusted VA relationships, understand evolving mission priorities, identify adjacent needs, connect those needs to LMI capabilities, and partner with market and account leadership to cultivate organic growth. The ideal candidate combines federal program management rigor with strong client presence, business acumen, subcontractor leadership, an appetite for business development, and enough technical fluency to coordinate AI, data, HCD, clinical, security, engineering, and adoption teams.

Prior VA experience is highly desired.
