The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) procurement is structured as a ten-year Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) framework, through firm-fixed-price (FFP) Task Orders drawn from a Contractor-built Service Catalogue. Early Task Orders are expected to cover network takeover and transition planning, discovery and target-architecture design, and a Proof-of-Concept gate, followed by a hybrid mix of one-time delivery and steady-state managed-service outcomes spanning cloud platform engineering, identity and data services, AI platform services, secure access, digital workplace, cyber resilience, accreditation, and sovereignty assurance.\nThe PM will own end-to-end delivery of the ON-X contract: integrating cost, schedule, and technical performance across a portfolio of firm-fixed-price Task Orders; managing the transition from the incumbent NATO-operated model to a Contractor-operated model; and building the governance, financial management, and risk-management rigor required to sustain a decade-long IDIQ relationship with a demanding, security-conscious international customer. The PM will be the primary customer-facing interface with the NCIA and will direct a multi-disciplinary team spanning cloud engineering, security accreditation, service management, and subcontractor/partner organizations.\nResponsibilities:\nServe as the single point of accountability for overall program performance, cost, and schedule across all active Task Orders issued under the ON-X IDIQ.\nPlan, staff, and mobilize the program at contract start, including stand-up of the Project Management Office (PMO), integrated master schedule, and Purchaser-approved governance rhythm.\nOwn Task Order-level and program-level financial management: budgeting, forecasting, Estimate-to-Complete, invoicing, and firm-fixed-price margin performance; apply FinOps discipline to cloud consumption and cost transparency obligations.\nLead the takeover and transition of ON operations from the incumbent NATO-operated model, ensuring service-level continuity against the pre-handover baseline and demonstrable absorption of operational knowledge.\nDirect discovery, target-architecture design, and Proof-of-Concept execution, coordinating cross-functional teams (cloud/platform engineering, identity and data services, security and accreditation, service management) against Purchaser-approved gate criteria.\nMaintain traceability across Outcomes (HLOs), Implementation Requirements, the QASP, CDRL, Service Catalogue, and Task Orders, ensuring the program's delivery evidence stays audit ready.\nOwn program risk management, including risks related to migration/cutover, accreditation and Authority to Operate timelines, sovereignty and jurisdictional-control obligations, and supply-chain/4th-party dependencies.\nManage subcontractors and technology partners supporting the multi-cloud platform, ensuring performance, security, and compliance obligations flow down and are enforced.\nAct as the primary interface with the NCIA customer and NATO stakeholders for contract performance, escalations, and Award Fee/performance reviews; support Purchaser governance boards and quarterly reviews.\nEnsure compliance with applicable NATO security policy (including cloud-specific NATO SECRET directives), export control, and Leidos corporate contract-management standards.\nReport program status, financials, and risk to Leidos executive leadership and to the customer on an agreed cadence; prepare and present Integrated Program Baseline / resource-loaded schedule updates.\nSupport proposal-to-execution continuity by contributing PM-domain input during remaining capture and Step 2 proposal activities, and by owning post-award transition-in planning.\nMentor and develop program leadership and task leads; build a high-performing, security-cleared workforce able to sustain a ten-year program.\nRequired Qualifications are as follows:\nBachelors in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or related discipline and 15+ years or more of experience; Masters and 12+ years or more of experience.\n10+ years of program management experience managing large scale firm-fixed-price (FFP) contracts or Task Orders in a complex technical environment, including cost, schedule, and technical-performance accountability.\n5+ years of experience with Information and Computer Technologies (ICT) procurement, implementation, migration and management.\nDemonstrated experience managing IT infrastructure, managed-services, or systems-integration programs of comparable scale and complexity.\nProven experience serving as the primary customer-facing interface on programs involving multiple stakeholders and workstreams.\nStrong financial management skills, including budgeting, forecasting, Estimate-to-Complete, and variance analysis on fixed-price programs.\nExperience managing program risk, subcontractors, and cross-functional/matrixed teams\nExcellent executive-level written and verbal communication skills.\nProject Management certifications (e.g. PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner, Project Management Institute (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP) or equivalent) and valid Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) Foundation Certificate at minimum\nMust have a current active NATO Secret level security clearance.\nHigh ability in speaking, writing, and understanding English is essential as all on-site work will be conducted in English. Minimum required level of English language of SLP3333 as defined in NATO STANAG 6001.\nDesired skills are as follows:\nExperience managing cloud infrastructure, cloud migration, or multi-cloud platform programs (IaaS/PaaS, DevSecOps pipelines, identity and data services, or secure cloud access) is highly desired.\nPrior experience supporting NATO, NCIA, a NATO Nation Ministry of Defense, or another international/coalition organization is desired.\nExperience with security accreditation processes (Authority to Operate, continuous compliance) in a classified or high-assurance environment.\nFamiliarity with FinOps practices, cloud cost transparency/chargeback models, and cloud cost-management tooling.\nExperience with large-scale network or data-center takeover/transition-in from an incumbent operator, including operational knowledge transfer.\nAdditional relevant certifications such as SAFe Agile, CISSP/CISM, an AWS/Azure/Google Cloud certification.\nExperience operating in a multinational, geographically distributed team environment, including coordination across allied or coalition partners.\nIf you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling.
