Leadership and program management where it matters most! BAE Systems is seeking an exceptional Program Manager for a high-visibility, strategic role supporting the United States Air Force's Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) transition at FE Warren AFB, Wyoming. This is a pivotal opportunity to drive the transition from the legacy Minuteman III to the next-generation Sentinel system. Operating within our Integration Support Contract (ISC), you will directly support the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) ICBM Directorate's newly established Transformation and Infrastructure Division (TID).
About ICBM Transformation
The transition of the ICBM fleet is a "Mega-Project" of national significance. To replace the 50-year-old LGM-30G Minuteman III, the Air Force is executing the largest construction project in its history-building entirely new, modern launch silos, launch centers, communications systems, and infrastructure. This modernization re-capitalizes the land-based leg of the U.S. nuclear triad, ensuring a credible deterrent against 21st-century adversaries. The Sentinel system will be deployed across the 90th Missile Wing (F.E. Warren AFB, WY), the 341st Missile Wing (Malmstrom AFB, MT), and the 91st Missile Wing (Minot AFB, ND), as well as test and training facilities at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The Role
As an ISC Program Manager at FE Warren AFB, you will represent the Air Force Nuclear Weapon Center's ICBM Directorate, supporting all acquisition activities related to Minuteman III deactivation and Sentinel Deployment at your location. You will directly support the ICBM Directorate Senior Acquisition Lead on site, while working in conjunction with Air Force Global Strike Command's Site Activation Task Force to guarantee seamless weapon system transition--while ensuring acquisition related equities are executed on time, on target.
Key Responsibilities:
Strategic Oversight: Manage the complex interplay between Minuteman III deactivation and Sentinel deployment planning to ensure seamless operational continuity.
Executive Advisory: Provide expert guidance to senior leadership on critical program risks, performance metrics, and strategic milestones.
Organizational Excellence: Bring order to chaos in coordinating senior leader site visits, contract execution, weekly reporting requirements, and other duties as assigned.
Cross Partner Coordination: Work/advise/synchronize with a wide variety of partners ranging from the US Army Corps of Engineers and Air Force Civil Engineering Center to various contractors and Missile Wing stakeholders at all levels across a spectrum of responsibilities including environmental concerns, real estate efforts, and construction operations on base and across the missile field.
Autonomous Execution: Drive task completion and strategic initiatives with minimal oversight, utilizing a self-driven management style to deliver results.
Who You Are
You are a seasoned leader who thrives in high-pressure, fast-paced environments and possesses the emotional intelligence to balance mission-critical priorities with the maintenance of strong customer relationships. You demonstrate all of the following:
Proven Leadership: A track record of leading large-scale, complex programs (preferably within Defense or Aerospace) with a focus on strategic alignment and execution.
Analytical Rigor: Expert ability to assess complex problems, perform root-cause analysis, and implement scalable solutions.
Collaborative Mindset: A natural collaborator who can influence stakeholders across different organizational levels to achieve shared objectives.
Customer Centricity: A proactive approach to customer service, with a demonstrated ability to anticipate client needs and exceed expectations.
