About The Position

Are you a Project Manager who thrives at the intersection of technology and mission-critical impact? Improvix Technologies is looking for a dynamic leader to drive application development projects that directly support Improvix’s federal customer. You’ll own the delivery lifecycle from concept to deployment, championing Agile practices across cross-functional teams building the software solutions that power critical government operations. This isn’t a role where you simply track timelines—you’ll shape how we build, collaborate, and ship software in a high-stakes, security-conscious environment. If you’re energized by solving complex problems, leading talented engineers, and delivering real results, we want to hear from you.

Requirements

Active Secret Clearance (or ability to obtain one prior to start).
5+ years of project management experience with a strong focus on application development and software delivery.
Proven track record leading Agile/Scrum teams—you know how to run a sprint, groom a backlog, and ship working software iteratively.
Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), CI/CD pipelines, and modern development frameworks.
Experience managing cross-functional teams of developers, QA engineers, and UX/UI designers.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills—comfortable presenting to both technical teams and senior leadership.
Eligibility to work in the United States and ability to work onsite at the federal customer site in Washington, D.C. 5 days per week.

Nice To Haves

PMP, CSM (Certified ScrumMaster), or SAFe certification.
Familiarity with DevOps tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform).
Background in federal IT projects or DoD/civilian agency environments.

Responsibilities

Lead application development projects end-to-end—from requirements gathering and sprint planning through release and post-deployment support.
Drive Agile/Scrum ceremonies including sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming, keeping teams focused and velocity high.
Partner with product owners, engineers, and stakeholders to define scope, prioritize features, and translate mission needs into actionable user stories.
Build and maintain project roadmaps, release plans, and risk registers that keep leadership informed and teams aligned.
Remove blockers and foster a collaborative, high-trust environment where developers and designers do their best work.
Manage budgets, resource allocation, and vendor relationships to deliver on time and within scope.
Ensure all deliverables meet federal security requirements, including compliance standards tied to Secret-level systems.
Champion continuous improvement—identify process bottlenecks, implement DevOps best practices, and push for faster, more reliable delivery pipelines.
