The Opportunity:
CACI is seeking an experienced Deputy Program Manager to lead the execution and growth of advanced national-security technology programs supporting Department of Defense and Intelligence Community customers.


Reporting to a Program/Portfolio Director, the Deputy Program Manager will be accountable for the cost, schedule, technical performance, financial results, and customer relationships associated with an assigned program or group of related projects. The portfolio includes research and development, product development, systems integration, production, fielding, sustainment, and mission support activities.


The successful candidate will be more than an administrative program manager. This leader will understand the customer’s mission, establish accountability across technical and business teams, maintain command of program financials, identify emerging risks early, and translate customer needs into executable and fundable work.


This position requires an active TS/SCI clearance.

Qualifications:
Required:

  • Active TS/SCI clearance.
  • Ten or more years of relevant professional experience, including at least five years leading programs, projects, or major technical workstreams for Department of Defense or Intelligence Community customers.
  • Demonstrated responsibility for a multimillion-dollar program, contract or task order.
  • Experience managing program financial performance, including revenue, margin, forecasts, estimates at completion, staffing, funding, and variance analysis.
  • Experience managing technical development, systems integration, production, sustainment, or mission-support programs.
  • Working knowledge of federal acquisition and contracting environments, including experience with one or more contract types such as CPFF, FFP, T&M, IDIQ, or task-order contracts.
  • Demonstrated ability to establish trusted relationships with government customers and communicate effectively with senior customer and company leadership.
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams containing technical, operational, contractual, and financial personnel.
  • Ability to organize ambiguous or evolving customer requirements into structured plans, assigned responsibilities, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, negotiation, written communication, and executive-briefing skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify deteriorating program conditions, develop corrective-action plans, and lead teams through recovery.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and program scheduling or collaboration tools.
  • Experience supporting classified research, development, engineering, production, or fielding programs.
  • Experience in one or more relevant mission areas, including RF systems, electronic warfare, SIGINT, communications, advanced electronics, cyber, sensing, or tactical mission systems.
  • Experience moving technology from prototype development through qualification, production, deployment, or operational sustainment.
  • Experience supporting Intelligence Community, USSOCOM, military-service, or other national-security customers.
  • Experience leading hardware, software, firmware, and systems-engineering activities within a common program structure.
  • Experience developing proposals, white papers, rough-order-of-magnitude estimates, bases of estimate, and contract-growth strategies.
  • Experience with Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Project, Deltek, or similar program-management and financial systems.

Desired:

  • PMP, PgMP, Agile, SAFe, Lean Six Sigma, or related professional certification.
