  • Serve as the primary liaison between government customers, technical teams, and stakeholders.

  • Oversee software development, infrastructure, data integration, and application maintenance activities.

  • Manage project priorities, deliverables, and technical requirements.

  • Collaborate with developers and engineers to resolve technical challenges and ensure successful project execution.

  • Support configuration management, software development processes, and technical documentation.

  • Communicate project status, risks, and progress to customer leadership.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience managing technical projects involving software development, data engineering, or IT infrastructure.

  • Strong understanding of software development processes and application architecture.

  • Experience leading or coordinating technical teams.

  • Excellent communication, organizational, and stakeholder management skills.

  • Ability to engage in technical discussions and translate requirements between customers and engineering teams.

  • Experience working in Agile or similar development environments.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous hands-on experience in software development, systems engineering, or data engineering.

  • Familiarity with ETL processes, databases, and enterprise data environments.

  • Experience with configuration management and web application development.

  • Experience supporting government or intelligence community customers.

Hands-on programming is not required, but a technical background and the ability to work closely with software developers and engineers are highly desirable.
