The Program Manager delivers a Program Management Review (PMR) at a minimum every six months, scheduled more frequently if deemed necessary, to review cost, schedule, and performance metrics. Technical acumen required: Experience with Integrated Program Management Data and Analysis Reporting (IPMDAR), Cost and Software Data Reporting (CSDR), and DoW acquisition reporting standards. Working knowledge of Agile Program Increment (PI) planning cadence, subcontractor management across a multi-vendor enterprise environment, and the ability to translate complex technical status across architecture, cybersecurity, platform, and software domains into executive-level reporting. Must understand management, integration, security compliance, and performance of all subcontractor partners, including delivering a Subcontractor Management Plan covering onboarding, security clearance flows for JBSA-Lackland and SCIF access, and quality control. Given occasional SCIF access, must be comfortable operating in both unclassified program-management settings and periodic classified program reviews.
