* Engage in program-level strategic planning, interact with executive-level management, resolve complex issues, and demonstrate excellent communication and team-building skills.
* Manage a group or groups of internal exempt and matrixed employees and contractors to deliver systems and systems enhancements that meet specified requirements.
* Oversee project scope definition and management, requirements gathering and documentation, time estimating, project schedule development and tracking, project budget management, project status reporting, issue and risk management, contingency planning, customer interaction, and communications across multiple organizational levels.

Skills/Experience:
* Project estimating, project scheduling & tracking, customer interaction and management, and implementation planning in large organizations.
* Proven people management and team-building skills.
* Demonstrated ability to be flexible/adaptable in exercising judgment in a changing environment and to manage competing priorities.
* Proven ability to learn business processes quickly and to work well with business partners at different levels within the organization.
* Strong ability to assess risk and apply management principles to technology applications/products and business functions.
* Experience delivering technology and business application solutions in a large-scale, multi-platform systems environment.
* Experience with the software development lifecycle.
* PMP or PMI certification required.
* Bachelor's degree in a technical field such as computer science, computer engineering, or a related field required.

* Experience managing and overseeing multiple programs simultaneously.
* Strong executive-level engagement and communication skills.
* Proven ability to manage large multi-million dollar program budgets.
* Cybersecurity experience is strongly preferred, given the nature of the Security Hardening program.
* Leadership presence and the ability to coordinate with many senior leaders and delivery team members.

Top Three Must-Haves:

2. Experience managing large multi-million dollar program budgets.
3. Ability to collaboratively develop an overarching strategy with program stakeholders and define the necessary program structure and needs.

Preferred Experience:
