About The Position

Zantech is looking for a talented IT Service Delivery Manager SME to contribute to the success of our upcoming Operations and Program Management Support Services project for a Hybrid role based out of Ashburn, VA. The IT Service Delivery Manager SME will play a crucial role in providing Service Delivery Management & Governance (Intake process design and execution, portfolio lifecycle management), Portfolio Management & Resource Allocation (CPIC, TBM, FITARA, IT investment oversight, financial and investment analysis), Business Intelligence & Data Analytics (PMO technical solutions, executive dashboards integrating financial and operational data), and Acquisition & Lifecycle Support (Acquisition-related operations support). The IT Service Delivery Manager SME provides senior-level expertise in IT service delivery, investment governance, strategic planning, and modernization support. The SME is responsible for the entire portfolio lifecycle, from the strategic alignment of investments to the operational execution of work intake and governance. This role supports the Government in assessing, managing, and communicating portfolio performance, budget considerations, and decision-ready information needed to guide priorities and improve accountability. A core responsibility is establishing and executing a robust process for the intake, assessment, and dissemination of all new work requests to ensure alignment with organizational objectives and efficient resource allocation. The impact of this role is foundational: without effective IT portfolio governance and intake management, the government cannot systematically prioritize work, allocate resources, or demonstrate return on investment to OIT and CBP leadership.
