Remote
Full Time
Senior Manager/Supervisor
Join Our Team
We are seeking an experienced Program Manager to serve as the primary contractor representative and single point of accountability for a public health technology program supporting a federal health agency. This leadership position offers the opportunity to direct agile development, operations, and modernization of a case-based disease surveillance platform that state, tribal, local, and territorial (STLT) health departments rely on nationwide.

About This Role
As Program Manager, you serve as the single point of accountability for the program and the contractor's authorized interface with the federal customer's contracting and product leadership. You direct delivery across help desk, DevSecOps, quality assurance, development, case notification, and migration workstreams, and you hold final contractor authority for release prioritization and go/no-go decisions. You lead a multi-team organization spanning software engineering, platform operations, user support, and public health informatics.

What You'll Do
Lead program governance
  • Provide governance, planning, coordination, and decision-making oversight across all contractor teams and workstreams
  • Establish and execute the Program Management Plan covering delivery approach, roles, communications, risk, and quality management
  • Serve as final authority for release prioritization, sequencing, and go/no-go decisions across teams
  • Represent the contractor in customer governance meetings and own the relationship with contracting and product leadership
Run the agile machine
  • Facilitate sprint planning, backlog refinement, execution check-ins, sprint reviews, and retrospectives across multiple Scrum teams
  • Develop and maintain the integrated release plan and release calendar, coordinating scope, schedule, dependencies, environments, approvals, and communications
  • Identify cross-team dependencies before sprint commitment and manage them through to resolution
  • Coordinate release communications: release notes packaging, user-facing advisories, and internal change notifications
Own performance and reporting
  • Manage program cost performance: labor planning, burn rate monitoring, forecast-to-complete, and early warning on cost risk
  • Produce, quality-check, and deliver all contractual reports and deliverables on schedule, including monthly status reports, staff rosters, and earned value reporting
  • Operate the risk, issue, and opportunity register with defined review cadence and escalation of high and critical items within one business day
  • Maintain staffing plans with designated backups for key roles, continuity coverage, and surge planning
Your day to day
  • Run the weekly execution review and monthly stakeholder governance review with agendas, notes, and action items
  • Chair release readiness reviews with documented entry and exit criteria and go/no-go decisions
  • Track release risks and blockers daily during active release windows
  • Review team delivery metrics (throughput, velocity trends, spillover) and use them to improve predictability
  • Deliver the monthly reporting package by the 10th calendar day of each month
  • Field escalations from workstream leads and clear impediments the teams cannot clear themselves

What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree and at least 10 years of relevant program or project management experience 
  • Experience managing agile software delivery programs for federal civilian agencies under firm-fixed-price terms
  • Demonstrated authority-holding roles: release decisions, budget accountability, government-facing leadership
  • Experience directing multi-team delivery organizations of 30 or more staff
Preferred
  • PMP or equivalent certification; agile certifications (CSM, SAFe) a plus
  • Experience with public health, health IT, or scientific mission programs
  • Experience leading incumbent-capture transitions and multi-vendor coordination
  • Earned value management reporting experience

Logistics and Classification
  • Location: remote (contractor facility), with core-hours availability 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM ET.
  • Occasional domestic travel to client and stakeholder sites.
  • All personnel must be able to obtain a federal background investigation commensurate with position sensitivity and a PIV credential. No security clearance is required.
  • This position is contingent upon contract award, with an anticipated start in October 2026.

Salary Information
  • $165,000.00 to $180,000.00 - commensurate with experience and skillset

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
