The Program Manager, Army Support Services Contracts will be a strategic thinker who provides leadership and guidance to the associate PMs who are managing the tactical day today execution of these task orders. This PM needs to see the “big picture” and have the ability to recognize yellow flags before they become red flags, whether it be in cost, schedule, technical, or other execution performance issues. A successful candidate will be an active participant in and leader of the Risk & Opportunity process, brainstorming and enacting risk mitigations.

Familiarity of the government contracting process is desired, as task orders may both cost-type and firm fixed price work.

This role will review and approve proposal estimates and contract documents as a key member of Capture Teams.

The SSC PM will prepare and give formal presentations to internal and external groups, including internal Program Reviews monthly and coordinating and leading face-to-face Army program reviews in Huntsville, AL, at least quarterly. Additional travel may be required based on program needs. This role may require involvement in subcontractor management.

The SSC PM will demonstrate creative and critical thinking while guiding the programs through identification and resolution of proposal, negotiation, or execution issues.

The role may include additional support of the BLACK HAWK production program as requirements emerge.

The successful candidate will be willing to thoroughly understand each SSC Task Order contract and potential opportunity, and demonstrate strong communication skills with colleagues and customers regardless of level.
