You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

You will partner directly with Tech Leads to steer architectural trade-offs, streamline multi-party dependencies, and establish AI-driven operational governance in cleared, mission-critical environments. This role requires technical judgment, executive communication skills, and an active or acquirable Top Secret security clearance to turn ambiguous technical initiatives into reliable, large-scale reality.

We focus on helping United States public sector institutions accelerate their digital transformations, and we continue to make significant investments and grow our team to meet the complex needs of local, state and federal government and educational institutions.
