About The Role

Redhorse transforms the way government uses data and technology.

In this role, you will partner with the Program Manager to drive contract execution and ensure that our technical teams deliver exceptional results in high-stakes environments.

If you are a disciplined leader who thrives on building efficient, inclusive, and mission-ready teams, your work here will have a direct impact on national security and technological innovation.

  • Oversee the timely completion of all deliverables, ensuring they meet established timelines and quality standards.
  • Collaborate with team leads and technical staff to monitor progress, identify potential risks, and resolve operational issues.
  • Support the design, documentation, and implementation of inclusive, enterprise-level operational team structures within the technology space.
  • Manage internal and external audits utilizing the RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) methodology framework.
  • Conduct and support comprehensive business process reviews to drive operational efficiency and continuous improvement.
  • Prepare and deliver transparent program status reports and executive briefings to diverse stakeholders.
  • Facilitate clear and effective communication between the technical teams and external stakeholders.

Required Experience/Clearance

  • Active TS/SCI with Full-Scope Polygraph security clearance.
  • 5 years of professional experience in program or project management, specifically within the Intelligence Community (IC).
  • Operational Design: Demonstrated experience designing, documenting, and implementing enterprise-level operational team structures in a technology-focused environment.
  • Audit & Frameworks: Professional experience managing internal and external audits and applying the RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) methodology.
  • Process Improvement: Proven ability to conduct business process reviews and implement operational optimizations.
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical or professional discipline.

Desired Skills

  • Project Management Professional (PMP) certification or an equivalent project management credential.
  • Previous experience serving in a deputy or secondary leadership capacity for large-scale IC or DoD programs.
  • Strong background in strategic resource management and operational planning.
  • Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, or hybrid program management methodologies.
  • Experience overseeing enterprise-level technology operations and cloud-based environments.
  • A commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment through mentorship and collaborative leadership.
