Senior Project Manager

In support of the U.S. Navy’s PEO IWS-X initiative, the Senior Project Manager oversees the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) development cycle and leads program management activities across all subtasks. This includes overseeing KVM-based virtualization, system security integration, and the F127 Combat System Compute Infrastructure (CI) and providing project management leadership for Anti-Tamper (AT) measures across the system lifecycle, including design, integration, and testing.

The Senior Project Manager must possess exceptional analytical and organizational skills to manage schedules, task execution, and deliverables while tracking critical path items and mitigating risks. While involved across operations and project delivery, this role focuses on stakeholder engagement and liaising with the government, other contractors, customers, and program offices.

• Identify schedule risks, implement mitigation strategies, and ensure deliverables meet quality standards.
• Coordinate with PEO IWS, AEGIS Tech Rep, LM RMS, and foreign partners to align program objectives and delivery timelines.
• Monitor project performance, provide regular updates to leadership, and ensure compliance with USG export control laws.
• Verify technical data and training materials are complete and accurate prior to version closeout.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, liberal arts, or related field; master’s degree preferred.
• PMP certification required.
• Active DoD Secret Clearance is required.
• Must be able to commute to the Dahlgren, VA area on a daily basis.
• 10+ years of experience managing complex technical projects in defense or FMS programs.
• Experience managing KVM virtualization, system security integration, and combat system infrastructure.
• Familiarity with export control regulations and FMS compliance.

Skills:

• Excellent analytical and logical thinking abilities to manage complex schedules and risks.
• Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Jira, Primavera).
• Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to manage cross-functional teams.
• Background in virtualization, hardware systems, or software development is highly desirable.
• Ability to adapt to fast-paced environments and manage multiple priorities effectively.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and a logical approach to complex challenges.
