[Hiring] Senior Manager, Technology Program Management @Peraton

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Program Manager to lead the delivery and ongoing management of multiple IT programs supporting state government customers in the New England region. This is a senior, customer-facing leadership role responsible for successful program delivery, customer relationships, financial performance, team leadership, and identification of account growth opportunities.

The successful candidate will serve as a trusted advisor to customers and work closely with technical teams, account leadership, and business development/capture organizations to deliver high-quality solutions, manage contractual commitments, maintain strong financial performance, and identify opportunities for continued growth.

This is not a traditional business development role. The primary responsibility is program and account delivery. However, the successful candidate must have the business acumen and customer relationships to recognize on-contract growth opportunities, expansion opportunities, and new business opportunities within existing accounts and the broader New England region.

The ideal candidate is someone who can run the business, not simply manage the projects, someone who takes ownership of delivery, customer relationships, financial performance, team leadership, and the future growth of the account.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of IT experience, with significant experience managing software development, application maintenance, and/or IT support programs.
• Demonstrated track record of successfully delivering complex IT programs.
• Strong experience managing software development projects and application maintenance/support operations.
• Strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
• Experience managing technical teams and working with software architects, developers, business analysts, testers, and other technical resources.
• Strong customer relationship management skills, including experience working directly with senior customer stakeholders.
• Experience developing Statements of Work, estimates, staffing plans, schedules, and delivery assumptions.
• Experience managing large IT contracts involving maintenance and support, software development, and/or staff augmentation.
• Strong understanding of program and account financial management, including revenue, cost, staffing, forecasting, and EBIT/margin.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and the ability to adapt delivery practices to different customer environments.
• Demonstrated ability to identify account growth opportunities and contribute to development of new work.
• Excellent written, verbal, presentation, and executive communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and operate effectively in a complex customer environment.
• Must be a US Citizen or Green card holder.
• Must reside within reasonable commuting distance of the Boston, Massachusetts and Rhode Island markets and be available for occasional onsite customer meetings and program activities.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Business, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience working with state and local government customers.
• Previous experience supporting Massachusetts or Rhode Island state agencies.
• Experience with application modernization and legacy technology environments.
• Experience managing large, multi-year government IT contracts.
• Experience managing a combination of fixed-price, time-and-materials, and labor-hour contracts.
• Experience with government procurement and contracting processes.
• Experience managing distributed technical teams.
• PMP certification strongly preferred.
• Experience identifying and developing expansion opportunities within existing government accounts.
• Experience working with application maintenance and support organizations.
• Experience managing staff augmentation programs.

Benefits

• Target Salary Range: $135,000 - $216,000.
• Salary is determined by various factors, including but not limited to, the scope and responsibilities of the position, the individual’s experience, education, knowledge, skills, and competencies, as well as geographic location and business and contract considerations.
• Depending on the position, employees may be eligible for overtime, shift differential, and a discretionary bonus in addition to base pay.
