What sets you apart:

Experience supporting defense, federal, or other contract-based programs.

Familiarity with Integrated Program Management Data and Analysis Report (IPMDAR) reporting, National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) guidelines, Estimates at Completion (EACs), or program financial processes.

Experience working with IPTs, CAMs, subcontractors, or finance partners.

Ability to identify risks, support root-cause and corrective-action activities, and contribute practical process improvements.

Curiosity and initiative in applying AI, new tools, or improved processes to strengthen program performance management.

Our Commitment to You

A meaningful career supporting practical solutions for our nation's security.

Opportunities to learn, grow, and work alongside award-winning technical teams.

Flexible work schedules, including an optional 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off.

Competitive benefits, including 401(k) matching, paid parental leave, healthcare, flex time off, wellness programs, and employee resource groups.
