This role sits at the operational center of TSA’s strategic transformation, supporting the Modernization and Mission Models Directors while driving seamless integration with the Chief Innovation Officer (CInO) team. \nIn this seat, you will be a trusted advisor to senior government leadership, translating executive vision into operational reality. You will lead end-to-end modernization efforts-spanning problem prioritization, commercial discovery, capability experimentation, and acquisition transition-while directing and mentoring a dedicated BMNT delivery team of Project Lead 1s, Senior Analysts, and Analysts.\nWhat You’ll Actually Do\nOwn Major Modernization Workstreams: Lead complex, multi-faceted modernization initiatives supporting Horizon 25 Tiger Teams and TSA Administrator priorities from inception through operational transition.\nDrive Senior Executive Engagement: Serve as the primary client-facing lead for senior TSA leadership, program managers, and component directors. Build deep trust, challenge assumptions constructively, and guide executive decision-making.\nLead Capability Prioritization & Experimentation: Evaluate, structure, and prioritize emerging commercial technologies. Design and execute rapid experimentation frameworks, prototype evaluations, and operational pilots to validate solutions in real-world environments.\nNavigate Non-Traditional Procurement: Work with government and industry partners to align modern capabilities with fast-track acquisition pathways, non-traditional procurement vehicles, and commercial transition strategies.\nDirect & Mentor Delivery Teams: Lead an integrated BMNT team of PL 1s, Senior Analysts, and Analysts. Delegate effectively, set delivery standards, provide hands-on coaching, and ensure high-polished output across all client deliverables.\nSynthesize Enterprise Strategy: Bridge high-level executive priorities with front-line execution across the Mission Models, Modernization, and CInO Directorates, ensuring all workstreams directly drive measurable operational outcomes.\nWho Thrives in This Seat\n You bring deep engagement & modernization tradecraft: You have 8+ years of professional experience (or 4+ years at BMNT/consulting) driving public sector modernization, technology translation, or government innovation programs.\nYou hold the room with senior leaders: You are comfortable briefing political appointees, SES executives, and General Officers in the morning, and coaching commercial startup founders in the afternoon.\nYou understand technology transition: You know how commercial capabilities move from market discovery to field experimentation to structured procurement, and you know where government adoption typically stalls.\nYou are an empowering team leader: You know how to manage up, across, and down-guiding PL 1s and analysts to deliver exceptional work without micromanaging.\nYou do 25 to 40 percent of the talking: You treat discovery as a discipline, asking sharp questions and synthesizing complex policy, technical, and operational constraints into actionable problem statements.\nYou thrive in ambiguity and move fast: You bring order to chaos, anticipate delivery risks early, and maintain an relentless obsession with operational outcomes over 'innovation theater.'\nThe Details\n Location: Hybrid out of Arlington, VA / TSA HQ (Springfield, VA) - 2 to 3 days per week in-office or client site, with additional presence required during key executive workshops or operational tests.\nCompensation: $119,000 to $151,000 and determined by location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.\nEligibility & Clearance: U.S. Citizenship required. Active DHS Public Trust / Fitness Determination or DoD Secret clearance is highly beneficial, but not required to start.\n Team Structure: Directs an integrated delivery team consisting of PL 1s, Senior Analysts, and Analysts while reporting to the Program Manager / Director.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4169,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Homeland Security","Management Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T19:38:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T03:14:56Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":151000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bmnt-project-lead-2-tsa-modernization","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bmnt-project-lead-2-tsa-modernization.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T03:14:56Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6803,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":670446},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=670446"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbmnt-project-lead-2-tsa-modernization"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbmnt-project-lead-2-tsa-modernization"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbmnt-project-lead-2-tsa-modernization"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bmnt-project-lead-2-tsa-modernization\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbmnt-project-lead-2-tsa-modernization"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4192150}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bmnt.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4192150},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
