About The Position

The OCTO Program Manager will lead project management, reporting, and delivery oversight across the web team's portfolio. This includes the redesigned dc.gov site, other concurrent agency web efforts, and AI-powered search initiatives. The web. team manages a portfolio of concurrent initiatives across more than 100 agency websites. The largest is the dc.gov redesign, which itself comprises multiple sub-projects including design implementation, content migration, agency-wide launch, and integration of AI-powered search. OCTO requires an experienced Master Program Manager who can bring structure, visibility, and accountability across this full portfolio, ensure each sub-project has a defined scope and milestone plan, and give OCTO leadership a clear, current picture of status across all active work.

• Demonstrated ability to translate technical and business requirements into actionable project scope, working directly with subject matter experts.

If selected, please make certain that you inform all candidates that they will have to complete this criminal background check prior to starting. NATIONAL background checks are required; Federal background checks are NOT compliant under this contract. A national background check is a national criminal examination that pulls criminal records from State and County Courts in almost every US State.
