About The Position

The Technical Configuration Manager is a senior-level position responsible for leading configuration management strategy, processes, and governance across complex, multi-program technical environments. This role requires extensive experience establishing and maintaining configuration baselines, leading Configuration Control Boards, and ensuring compliance with government and industry standards in fast-paced agile delivery environments. The ideal candidate will serve as a subject matter expert who can independently manage high-risk configuration decisions, mentor junior CM staff, and bridge the gap between technical engineering teams and program leadership. This position demands deep expertise in both traditional configuration management discipline and modern scaled agile frameworks, particularly in government contract settings requiring rigorous documentation and traceability standards.
