Responsibilities for this Position

Description

We're expanding our leadership team on Regional Strike and need people who can keep the teams running. This role is about execution: making sure the team has what it needs, blockers get cleared, and the process serves the people doing the work. You'll also serve as the Control Account Manager (CAM) for your team, so you're accountable for both the rhythm of delivery and the health of the control account.

This role flexes based on your strengths. If you're more technical, you'll support one team and contribute hands-on to development work. If you're stronger on coordination and process, you may support two teams. Either way, you're the person who makes the machine run. If you're on a DPME track and want real leadership experience, this is where you get it.

Responsibilities for this Position

• Facilitate team ceremonies (sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, demos) for one or two software teams
• Serve as the Control Account Manager (CAM), owning schedule and execution performance for your team's scope
• Identify and remove impediments, whether technical, organizational, or process-related
• Shield the team from external disruption while keeping leadership informed on progress and risk
• Coach team members on best practices and continuous improvement
• Coordinate across teams and workstreams to manage dependencies and escalate cross-cutting issues
• Contribute directly to technical work when not focused on team facilitation and coordination. Leadership in this role is earned alongside the team, not from the sideline

 

What sets you apart:

• CAM experience or familiarity with control account management
• Technical background that allows you to contribute to development work alongside the team
• Experience keeping teams unblocked and focused without micromanaging
• Interest in the DPME career path with a desire to lead through process, not authority
• Clear understanding of systems engineering concepts, principles, theories, and technical standards
• Creative thinker with ability to grasp and apply new information quickly and handle increasing responsibilities with growing complexity
• Team player who thrives in collaborative environments and revels in team success
• Commitment to ongoing professional development for yourself and others
• Identifies opportunities to apply AI for continuous improvement and innovation

Our Commitment to You:

• An exciting career path with opportunities for continuous learning and development. 
• Research oriented work, alongside award winning teams developing practical solutions for our nation’s security
• Flexible schedules with every other Friday off work, if desired (9/80 schedule)
• Competitive benefits, including 401k matching, flex time off, paid parental leave, healthcare benefits, health & wellness programs, employee resource and social groups, and more
