Program Manager

Schedule: Monday-Thursday | 7:00 AM-5:30 PM
Work Setup: 100% Onsite

About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a growing manufacturer that supports complex government and military programs. This is a high-visibility Program Manager role supporting large-scale DoD contracts, customer deliverables, budgets, schedules, risks, and cross-functional execution across manufacturing, supply chain, operations, quality, and leadership.

This is a strong opportunity for a true industry-side defense Program Manager who has managed large DoD programs, understands contract execution, and can confidently work with senior military leaders, government customers, and internal executive teams. The company is in a major growth phase, with long-term program expansion and a strong pipeline ahead, so this role is best for someone who wants impact, visibility, and ownership.

What You’ll Be Doing

Manage large, complex DoD programs and defense contracts from planning through execution.
Build and maintain project plans, timelines, milestones, deliverables, and resource needs.
Support proposals, contract planning, specifications, financial terms, and program requirements.
Track program performance to ensure work is completed on time, within budget, and aligned with customer expectations.
Serve as a key point of contact for government customers, senior military leaders, and industry partners.
Lead cross-functional teams across manufacturing, supply chain, operations, quality, facilities, finance, and leadership.
Monitor program costs including labor, materials, overhead, and related project expenses.
Identify program risks early and build mitigation plans to keep projects moving.
Manage changes to scope, schedule, resources, and customer requirements.
Prepare program reviews, progress reports, presentations, and leadership updates.
Support compliance with ITAR, CMMC, internal policies, customer requirements, and regulatory standards.
Help improve program processes, delivery timelines, quality, and overall execution.
Contribute to long-term growth by helping scale programs and strengthen customer and supplier partnerships.

What They’re Looking For

10+ years of Program Management experience in a DoD or defense manufacturing environment.
Experience managing large-scale programs or contracts at the $100M+ level.
Strong preference for candidates with industry-side defense Program Management experience, not only government-side experience.
Navy program experience is a strong plus.
Experience working directly with government customers, military leaders, and defense industry partners.
Strong understanding of program budgets, schedules, deliverables, risks, contract requirements, and customer expectations.
Ability to lead cross-functional teams without needing direct reports.
Strong manufacturing, operations, and supply chain integration experience.
Experience with MS Project, Microsoft Office, program reporting, and project documentation.
Familiarity with ERP systems is helpful.
PMP, PgMP, or equivalent certification highly preferred
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt is a plus.
Bachelor’s degree preferred, or equivalent technical and program leadership experience.
Must be a U.S. person due to defense and export compliance requirements.

Why You’ll Want This Role

Strong compensation: $120,000-$140,000 salary.
Four-day workweek: Monday-Thursday schedule.
High-impact role tied directly to major defense program growth.
Work on complex DoD contracts with real visibility to leadership and customers.
Opportunity to help scale programs during a major growth phase.
Strong fit for someone who wants more ownership than a basic project management role.
Best for a Program Manager who understands defense manufacturing, customer expectations, contract execution, and how to keep large programs moving.
