About The Position

The Senior IT Project Manager owns the integrated delivery plan, execution cadence, dependency and critical-path visibility, resource-conflict resolution, governance-stage readiness, and transparent customer reporting for assigned projects. The role leads multiple concurrent enterprise technology and service-improvement projects from approved intake through deployment and operational acceptance, while coordinating Government stakeholders, technical teams, vendors, and subcontractors. The manager translates approved requirements, architectures, and objectives into integrated plans; prioritizes work against mission value, dependencies, risk, capacity, security, and operational constraints; manages scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, and benefits; and maintains authorized change control and decision records. The role applies predictive, Agile, and hybrid methods while preserving forecast integrity, architecture and security gates, acceptance criteria, and operational readiness. It also coaches workstream leads and team members.

Demonstrated delivery experience in Intelligence Community environments involving multiple technical domains, stakeholder groups, and shared resources.
Ability to build and manage work breakdown structures, integrated schedules, critical paths, dependencies, resource/capacity plans, milestones, baselines, forecasts, and recovery plans.
Demonstrated ability to prioritize and sequence competing work under constrained capacity, including documenting decisions to pause, defer, reduce scope, re-sequence, or stop work when warranted.
Experience managing projects through requirements, engineering analysis, design, integration, build/test, production readiness, deployment, validation, transition, and operational acceptance.
Working technical literacy across enterprise infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity/RMF, networks, applications/software, data, monitoring, automation, ITSM, and service operations.
Strong command of risk, issue, action, dependency, decision, change, configuration, quality, and stakeholder-management practices, including early escalation and documented decision authority.
Experience with Microsoft Project or an equivalent approved scheduling tool and Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, Confluence/SharePoint, Excel, Power BI, or comparable delivery and reporting platforms.
