Program Management Specialist, Mid

The Opportunity:

As a program management specialist, you know the complexities of supporting a project from concept to completion. Many programs require a significant investment of limited resources, and it’s imperative to keep the project on a productive path. That’s why we need an experienced program management specialist like you who can help ensure success through careful analysis and effective communication. 

On our team, you’ll coordinate the execution of rapid prototyping plans and master testing strategies, facilitating early prototype acquisitions for operational demonstrations. You oversee core project management tasks, including tracking project schedules, developing deliverables, and ensuring milestones are met. You’ll direct compliance with rapid acquisition guidelines, maintaining contract and program documentation in accordance with federal regulations. Collaboration spans multiple military services and defense stakeholders, aligning operational technology protection requirements and joint schedules.

You manage program budgets and oversee funding allocations to ensure resources are distributed for critical prototyping initiatives. Department of Defense leaders rely on your briefings to track milestones, program achievements, and strategic transition options. Throughout, you’ll support project planning, status reporting, and risk management to reinforce successful program delivery.

The real impact of project management comes from communication to ensure the program achieves its goals and meets our quality standards. At Booz Allen, we recognize that we must continuously grow as a team to bring the best support to our clients, so here you’ll have all the resources to succeed. This is a chance to influence a meaningful mission while learning how to develop and maintain program strategy.
