About the Role
Culmen International is seeking an experienced Program Manager to lead our support of AFCAP, the U.S. Air Force’s rapid-response contingency contracting program.
AFCAP provides critical logistics, construction, and base-support capabilities around the world, helping the Air Force respond quickly to emergencies, contingency operations, and evolving mission requirements.
As the Program Manager, you will play a highly visible leadership role with responsibility for the successful execution of the contract and associated task orders. You will lead the Program Management Office, serve as the primary interface with Government leadership, and guide all aspects of program delivery, including planning, staffing, global deployments, subcontractor management, quality, safety, security, property, cost, schedule, and performance.
This is an exciting opportunity for a proven program leader who thrives in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment and is ready to lead complex, globally dispersed operations while responding to urgent requirements.

- Ensure compliance with contract requirements, task-order requirements, security obligations, cybersecurity standards, ethics requirements, CTIP, host-nation laws, and applicable federal and DoD regulations.
- Establish governance for schedule, cost, risk, performance metrics, reporting, corrective actions, and continuous improvement.
- Oversee Site Managers and task-order teams and confirm that key personnel and deployed staff meet qualification, clearance, training, medical, and readiness requirements.
- Manage Government and customer relationships and provide timely, transparent status, risk, and decision information.
- Maintain accurate key-contact information and notify the Government of proposed key-personnel changes within required timeframes.
Required Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, construction management, logistics, program management, or a related field.
- 5+ years of program management experience within the last seven years.

- Experience managing construction, services, and commodities requirements.
- Strong knowledge of Government acquisition processes.
- Demonstrated experience simultaneously managing multiple task orders valued above $2 million each in geographically dispersed locations, or equivalent deployment experience.
