The ideal candidate works autonomously with minimal oversight, thrives in structured defense/government technical environments, and possesses the executive presence needed to brief senior leadership (O-6 and above).

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Systems Engineering, Project Management, or related technical discipline, an additional four years of experience may be substituted in lieu of a degree.
• 3+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure management, cloud application development, and deployment pipelines (CI/CD).
• Demonstrated experience guiding cloud platforms or software applications through the complete ATO/RMF lifecycle.
• Hands-on experience creating and maintaining Integrated Master Schedules (IMS), managing risks/issues, mapping task dependencies, and tracking resource utilization rates using tools like MS Project, Jira, or Primavera P6.
• Proven track record of operating independently, setting self-directed priorities, and driving results with limited supervision.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with the FENCES environment/framework.
• Direct experience briefing O-6 level commanders, Flag Officers, or SES-level leadership.
• Certifications (Any of the following): Project Management: PMP, PMI-ACP, or Certified ScrumMaster (CSM). Cloud Architecture: AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect, or equivalent. Security & ATO: CISSP, CISM, CAP/ISC2 Certified Authorization Professional, or CompTIA Security+.

Responsibilities

• Oversee and guide cloud infrastructure management, application development, microservices architecture, and enterprise deployment strategies across public, private, or hybrid cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or MilCloud/GovCloud).
• Lead programs through the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and DoD/Federal Cloud ATO processes to secure and maintain system authorizations.
• Construct, maintain, and execute comprehensive Integrated Master Schedules (IMS) tracking complex program milestones, critical paths, and cross-functional dependencies.
• Establish proactive Risk, Issue, and Opportunity (RIO) management frameworks; identify, track, and remediate technical, schedule, and operational bottlenecks.
• Map inter-team technical dependencies across software development, platform operations, cybersecurity, and infrastructure teams to ensure seamless delivery. Monitor and report on team and material resource utilization rates, optimizing labor allocation to maintain budget and schedule targets.
• Synthesize complex technical and program status data into concise, high-impact briefings for senior military officers (O-6 and above) and executive stakeholders.
• Operate with high autonomy—taking broad intent, defining operational goals, and driving cross-functional teams to execution without requiring daily oversight.
