Working within the Project Management & Coordination organization, the Strategic Project Manager serves as the central point of accountability for planning, executing, and delivering strategic programs on time and within budget. You will translate mission objectives and customer needs into executable project roadmaps, detailed work plans, and measurable outcomes, ensuring alignment across cyber security engineers, systems architects, operations teams, and government stakeholders. You will develop and manage integrated master schedules, define and monitor key performance indicators, and maintain disciplined control over scope, cost, risk, and quality using recognized project management and Earned Value Management practices.
This position requires a deep understanding of the defense and aerospace environment, including familiarity with DoD and Intelligence Community processes, acquisition frameworks, and security requirements. You will identify and manage program risks, issues, and interdependencies, maintaining risk registers and mitigation plans while facilitating timely decision-making. You will regularly prepare and deliver concise, mission-focused briefings, status reports, and recommendations to senior leadership and government customers, ensuring they have clear visibility into program health, tradeoffs, and impacts.
At ManTech, you will join a culture built on innovation, integrity, and respect for individual contributions.
