About The Position

Two Six Technologies is seeking an IT Project Manager to oversee the planning, execution, and delivery of core enterprise information technology initiatives. In this role, you will lead a diverse portfolio of high-impact IT efforts. While a primary, near-term focus of this position will be steering our Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) alignment, you will also manage other critical upcoming enterprise initiatives, including corporate IT compliance audits, large-scale mobile device management (MDM) implementations, and cross-functional infrastructure upgrades. This role requires a unique combination of technical compliance understanding, exceptional cross-functional leadership, and change-management expertise. Because these initiatives directly impact workflows across the entire organization, the ideal candidate must excel at navigating complex organizational structures, aligning diverse stakeholder groups, and driving cultural buy-in for rigorous standards and practices. The ideal candidate possesses strong leadership, precise technical documentation skills, and the agility to manage multiple high-visibility projects simultaneously while balancing complex security constraints and operational uptime.

Requirements

7+ years of dedicated IT Project Management experience within a high-growth technology environment or the federal government contracting landscape
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Business Administration, or additional equivalent practical experience
5+ years of experience navigating technical compliance frameworks (such as CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, SOC 2, or FedRAMP), with the ability to turn complex compliance controls into actionable project plans
Proven experience managing enterprise-wide software deployments, infrastructure upgrades, or identity/device management implementations (e.g., MDM, VDI, Okta/IAM integration)
Demonstrated track record of leading high-impact initiatives that require organizational change management, with a proven ability to influence without authority and gain buy-in for challenging topics
Advanced proficiency with standard agile project tracking suites (such as Jira, Confluence, or equivalent ITSM platforms)

Nice To Haves

Active Project Management Professional (PMP), Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP), or Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) designation
Certified CMMC Professional (CCP), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), or Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) is a strong plus
Prior hands-on experience managing a CMMC readiness/certification project (or highly comparable frameworks such as NIST SP 800-171, SOC 2 Type 2, or ISO 27001) is strongly preferred
Security Clearance Eligible and willing to obtain a government clearance

Responsibilities

Lead and coordinate concurrent enterprise IT initiatives from initiation to completion, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with corporate milestones.
Drive the project lifecycles for near-term major compliance frameworks, specifically focusing on CMMC 2.0 readiness, evidence collection, milestone tracking, and technical remediation tasks.
Serve as the central advocate and change agent for initiatives. Successfully navigate challenging topics, build consensus among competing priorities, and secure active buy-in from leadership and cross-functional teams.
Partner closely with Corporate Security and IT leadership to manage readiness and execution for upcoming technical and enterprise IT audits.
Manage the end-to-end rollout of critical internal infrastructure projects, including enterprise mobile implementations (MDM/MAM solutions) to support secure corporate and BYOD capabilities.
