Agile Program Manager (Army Training Systems Portfolio)
About The Position
Threat Tec, LLC is seeking an Agile Program Manager to lead a large, cross-functional professional services team supporting U.S. Army simulation, training, test, and threat acquisition programs in Orlando, Florida, and at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. This is a key personnel role responsible for leading overall contract execution and serving as the primary interface with senior Army program leadership. The role will transition a traditional staffing model to an Agile, capacity-based model in which work is pulled from a prioritized backlog and success is measured by outcomes and delivery velocity rather than headcount. The Program Manager will manage and reallocate a pool of multidisciplinary professionals across project offices, establish and scale Agile practices, oversee Jira-based planning and metrics, and maintain transparent performance reporting. The position also leads contract transition and presents Agile demonstrations and capability briefings to Government stakeholders.
