Job Description

Leidos is seeking a Delivery Program Manager to lead delivery execution and overall outcome implementation of a flagship, enterprise-scale data and AI platform supporting mission-critical operations across the Department of Defense. This program sits at the forefront of data, analytics, and AI-driven decision advantage, enabling senior leaders to operate with speed, precision, and trusted information at global scale. You will operate as a key leader within a high-visibility program, helping shape delivery strategy, drive execution, and ensure mission outcomes across a complex ecosystem of Government policy makers, warfighters, engineers, and industry partners. This is not a traditional program management role. It is an opportunity to own delivery of a living, evolving platform at the intersection of AI, data, and national security.

What You'll Do:

• Drive end-to-end execution across cost, schedule, performance, and risk for a $160-million large-scale enterprise program.
• Ensure delivery at mission pace, balancing speed, quality, and operational impact.
• Lead integrated teams across Leidos, subcontractors, and Government stakeholders.

Shape Delivery of Advanced Capabilities

• Oversee delivery of capabilities spanning enterprise data platforms, analytics, AI/ML, cloud, and DevSecOps.
• Translate mission needs into scalable, production-grade solutions deployed in real operational environments.
• Contribute to product strategy, roadmap execution, and continuous delivery pipelines.

Operate at the Center of Complexity

• Navigate a multi-stakeholder, high-visibility environment with competing priorities and evolving requirements.
• Influence decisions at the senior Government and executive level.
• Resolve cross-domain challenges spanning technology, mission, and operations.

Drive Accountability & Transparency

• Establish and maintain program controls across financials, staffing, delivery metrics, and performance outcomes.
• Deliver clear, actionable insights through executive reporting (MSRs, PMRs, briefings).
• Identify risks early and drive mitigation to protect mission delivery.

Ensure Mission Continuity

• Lead transition activities with minimal operational disruption.
• Support compliance, audit, and contractual obligations in a mission-critical environment.

Basic Qualifications:

• 10+ years of experience leading large-scale, multi-disciplinary programs in Federal or DoD environments.
• Proven track record delivering enterprise IT systems, including data platforms, analytics, or AI-enabled solutions.
• Experience managing cost-reimbursable programs with full responsibility for cost, schedule, and performance.
• Strong understanding of cloud architectures, DevSecOps, data engineering, and cybersecurity principles.
• Experience leading cross-functional technical teams (software, data, cyber, systems engineering).
• Experience operating within SAFe or large-scale Agile frameworks.
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive execution across organizational boundaries.
• Bachelor's + 15 years experience OR Master's + 13 years experience.
• Active TS clearance with SCI eligibility.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Active TS/SCI clearance
• SAFe (SA, SPC) and/or PMP / PgMP certification
• Experience operating across NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and JWICS
• Experience with Zero Trust and RMF authorization processes
• Experience delivering in multi-cloud environments (AWS GovCloud, C2S, SC2S)
• Experience managing performance-based environments with SLAs and measurable outcomes
