Technical Program / Delivery Leader

The Technical Program / Delivery Leader (TPL) is the accountable technical delivery lead for a designated application team. TPL combines senior-level business systems analysis with hands-on delivery coordination to translate priorities into executable plans and ensure engineering, architecture, environment, security, and operational activities are aligned to deliver high-quality outcomes. The TPL works closely with leadership to provide transparent status, drive decisions and approvals, coordinate priorities, and ensure required software/hardware/tooling needs are defined early so they can be procured through channels. This role leads through influence, not direct people management., Pass both a client mandated clearance process to include drug screening, criminal history check and credit check. Once candidate s resume is approved and interview passed, the agency is responsible for providing drug screening. Failure to submit the drug screening results will delay the security clearance process. If a candidate is given an interim clearance, continuation of employment is then based on the candidate receiving a sensitive clearance. Candidate must have lived in the US for the past 5 years. Cannot have more than 6 months travel outside the United States within the last five years. Military Service excluded. (Exception does not include military family members.) All overtime must be pre-approved in writing by the client manager or his/her designated representative. Agency will not be reimbursed for overtime charges without previous written authorization. Authorized overtime will be reimbursed at straight time. The enforced dress code is business casual, i.e. collared shirt with slacks for men, no skirts above the knee for women. Place and Period of Performance Hours of support: o The standard work week for contract staff will be 5 days a week and 8 hours per day preferable Monday through Friday

10+ years in technology delivery roles (e.g., Technical Delivery Lead, Technical Project Lead, Technical Program Coordinator/Lead, or similar). Proven ability to lead through influence and coordinate cross-functional work across engineering, architecture, infrastructure/environments, security, and operations. Strong requirements-to-delivery capability: translating complex needs into epics/features/stories and into executable plans with measurable outcomes. Practical understanding of AI/ML concepts and governance, with experience using approved AI-enabled tools/approaches to improve requirements, analysis, estimation, reporting, defect/incident triage, and overall delivery execution. Strong delivery discipline: planning, scope control, dependency management, risk/issue management, and proactive escalation. Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams through change (without direct authority), adopt/improve delivery methodologies (Agile/DevSecOps), and drive measurable improvements using delivery/operational metrics. Technical fluency across SDLC and modern delivery practices (APIs/integrations, environments, DevSecOps concepts, logging/monitoring, and incident response); not required to code, but must engage effectively with technical teams. Strong executive communication: ability to present status, tradeoffs, and recommendations and drive timely decisions. Experience with work management and ITSM tools (e.g., VersionOne/Jira/Azure DevOps; ServiceNow or equivalent) and producing delivery artifacts (status, RAID logs, milestones, ROMs).

Preferred: Scrum certification (e.g., CSM, PSM) and/or scaled Agile experience (e.g., SAFe). Experience supporting production releases and incident response in high-availability environments. Experience incorporating security, privacy, and performance requirements into delivery artifacts. Experience measuring and reducing costs (cloud consumption, tooling/supplier spend, operational effort) by identifying cost drivers, optimizing services, and automating repeatable work while maintaining service levels. Additional Required Skills/Experience: o Over Ten (10) years of relevant experience. o A degree from an accredited College/University in the applicable field of services is required. If the individual’s degree is not in the applicable field then four additional years of related experience is required. o Typically performs all functional duties independently. o Note: Special credentials (licenses and/or certifications) may be required at the Task Order level on a case-specific basis.”
