Overview:

We’re looking for a highly organized, hands-on Program Manager to lead a technical training course that runs multiple sessions throughout the year.

  • Run day-to-day program operations, including logistics, materials, facilities, and communications with participants.
  • Own the program budget by tracking spending, preparing forecasts, and producing financial reports that keep the program on scope and on target.
  • Apply a working knowledge of contracting basics to stay compliant and keep the program aligned with Sponsor requirements.
  • Track key metrics and program performance, and share clear, regular updates with leadership and stakeholders.
  • Bring adult learning best practices to the program and continuously improve the participant experience and outcomes.
  • Serve as the go-to point of contact for all program questions and coordination.

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of program management experience.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience managing budgets and finances.
  • Solid understanding of basic contracting concepts.
  • Strong computer skills, including proficiency with standard office applications.
  • Active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.

Desired Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field such as adult learning, human resource development, operations management, or business administration.
  • Background in adult learning or managing training programs.
  • Experience serving as a Technical Operations Officer.
