Homeland

Job Summary
Homeland Talent Solutions is partnering with a rapidly growing GovTech and defense technology organization to identify an experienced Program Manager/Senior Program Manager to support the expansion of large-scale federal software delivery programs. This is a highly visible opportunity for a Program Manager/Senior Program Manager who wants to play a strategic role supporting mission-critical Army and federal technology initiatives within a fast-paced, engineering-driven environment.

The Program Manager/Senior Program Manager will serve as a true business leader, overseeing multiple federal software delivery programs with annual budgets exceeding $10M. This role will partner closely with engineering leadership, software development teams, operations, finance, and customer stakeholders to ensure successful program execution, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

Our client is an innovative and rapidly scaling software organization focused on solving complex network operations, communications, and systems management challenges for defense, government, and telecommunications customers worldwide. Their technology supports mission-critical environments where scalability, reliability, and performance are essential. Unlike larger defense contractors, the organization offers direct exposure to executive leadership, faster decision-making, high-impact project ownership, and the opportunity to influence operational growth initiatives in real time.

The ideal Program Manager/Senior Program Manager will bring strong federal program leadership experience, exposure to technical software delivery environments, excellent customer-facing communication skills, and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, hands-on culture. This is not a heavily layered enterprise PM environment; the successful candidate will be comfortable taking ownership, solving problems independently, managing customer expectations, operating with urgency, and wearing multiple hats within a growing organization. This position reports directly to senior operational leadership and offers significant visibility and long-term growth potential.

Responsibilities

• Lead multiple complex federal software delivery programs simultaneously within a fast-paced, mission-critical environment
• Manage program scope, timelines, budgets, and customer deliverables to ensure successful project execution
• Provide proactive customer communication and deliver executive-level program status updates

• Oversee financial forecasting, billing milestones, program margins, Estimates to Complete (ETCs), and Estimates at Completion (EACs)
• Support the successful delivery of mission-critical Army and federal technology programs
• Identify operational challenges and implement proactive problem-solving strategies to keep programs on track
• Coordinate cross-functional teams and resources across engineering, operations, finance, and customer stakeholders
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal leadership teams and external federal customers
• Drive accountability, operational efficiency, and program performance across all assigned initiatives

Requirements

• Active Secret Clearance or higher required
• 7–10+ years of Program Management experience within federal, defense, or government technology environments
• Proven experience managing federal, DoD, or GovTech programs
• Background supporting software delivery, systems integration, networking, IT infrastructure, or related technical programs
• Experience overseeing programs with annual budgets exceeding $10M
• Ability to thrive in high-accountability, fast-paced, and evolving environments
• Strong executive-level communication, presentation, and customer relationship management skills
• Self-starter with the ability to take ownership and drive initiatives independently
• Military program experience strongly preferred
• Technical knowledge in software development, networking, NetOps, telecommunications, or systems engineering is a plus
