What's it like to work at BAE Systems? It's the feeling of knowing your leadership is directly securing the future of national defense on one of the most complex "mega-projects" in the world.
Join the Sentinel program, a cornerstone of national security and one of the largest acquisition efforts in DoD history. As a Project Manager II, you will build a long-term career leading critical workstreams to replace the aging Minuteman III weapon system.

* Compliance: Ensuring all work meets DoD regulations (FAR/DFARS) and customer standards.
* Leadership: Guiding cross-functional teams to optimize performance and delivery.
Who You Are
You are an experienced leader who thrives in fast-paced environments and handles shifting priorities with ease. You are detail-oriented, customer-focused, and a strong collaborator.
