The successful candidate will monitor and align cross-functional program execution across engineering, product, operations, supply chain, and security teams to ensure programs are completed within approved budgets and comply with corporate financial planning, forecasting, accounting, and reporting requirements. Your ability to build trusted relationships across the company, and drive alignment across diverse stakeholders will be central to your success.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Serve as the financial project manager for a strategic and active U.S. Government contract, owning the program budgets, financial tracking, and adherence to the company financial policies.

• Experience managing programs within the commercial technology or semiconductor industry.
• Demonstrated experience working with large, cross-functional programs in a matrixed environment, including the ability to influence, align, and drive execution across teams that do not report directly to you.
• Experience managing multiple programs concurrently, with the ability to prioritize and shift focus across efforts of varying size and complexity.
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. Government contracting regulations (FAR/DFARS), contract types (FFP, CPFF, OTA, etc.), and compliance requirements.
• Ability and willingness to obtain Active U.S. Government security clearance required.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to operate effectively from the working level up to executive leadership and government customers.
