This person will manage multiple concurrent projects and serve as the connective tissue between our customers and internal Engineering, Product, Operations, Sales, and Finance teams.\nThe ideal candidate understands both the discipline required to execute federal contracts and the speed and flexibility required in a growing technology company. Experience with enterprise SaaS, maritime systems, defense technology, or complex hardware/software programs is highly desirable.\nThis is a hands-on role. You will be expected to own schedules, deliverables, customer communication, risks, budgets, and execution-not simply coordinate meetings.\nKey Responsibilities\nManage multiple government and commercial projects from contract award through delivery, customer acceptance, invoicing support and closeout.\nDevelop and maintain project plans, schedules, milestones, budgets, deliverables, and resource requirements.\nServe as the primary day-to-day program interface for assigned customers and build trusted relationships with technical, operational, contracting, and program stakeholders.\nActively develop and maintain customer relationships during project execution.\nTranslate contractual requirements into clear internal tasks, priorities, and deliverables.\nCoordinate across Software Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Product, Operations, Sales, and Finance.\nTrack contractual deliverables including reporting requirements, invoicing milestones, project performance, risks, dependencies, issues, and corrective actions.\nMaintain scope and change control by documenting customer requests, assessing their impact, and coordinating contract modifications when required.\nLead regular internal and customer project reviews.\nEnsure contractual commitments and customer expectations are clearly understood and actively managed.\nSupport proposals, contract modifications, SOW development, and new business opportunities.\nIdentify project risks early and drive resolution rather than simply reporting problems.\nIdentify additional sales and technical opportunities within the project and relay to appropriate internal Terradepth personnel for further development.\nMaintain appropriate program documentation and reporting for government customers.\nSupport customer demonstrations, testing, deployments, and operational activities as required.\nTravel to customer and field sites as required.\nWhat We're Looking For\n5-10 years of progressive project/program management experience, preferably supporting federal government contracts.\nAt minimum, active TS or active TS/SCI with Polygraph required.\nDemonstrated experience managing multiple projects or programs simultaneously.\nStrong understanding of federal contracting, government customer expectations, and contract execution.\nExperience managing technical programs involving software, hardware, data, or integrated systems.\nStrong understanding of enterprise SaaS business models and software product delivery.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills.\nAbility to work effectively with engineers, executives, customers, and government stakeholders.\nHighly organized, accountable, and comfortable operating with ambiguity.\nAbility to identify what needs to happen next and drive the team toward completion without requiring constant direction.\nWillingness to travel to customer sites and field operations as required.\nRequirements\nPreferred Experience\nMaritime, UUV/AUV, robotics, defense, ocean technology, or related industry experience.\nExperience with DoD, IC, or other federal customers.\nExperience managing programs involving both physical hardware and SaaS/software platforms.\nExperience working with subcontractors, technology partners, and geographically distributed teams.\nExperience with JIRA, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project, or comparable planning and execution tools.\nExperience in a startup or high-growth technology company.\nPMP or similar project/program management certification.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nProjects are delivered on time, on budget, and to customer expectations.\nInternal teams have clear priorities, owners, and deadlines.\nCustomer commitments and contractual requirements are translated into executable internal plans, and program forecasts remain current. \nCustomers have confidence that Terradepth understands and will deliver against its commitments.\nRisks and issues are surfaced early and actively resolved.\nMultiple complex programs can move forward simultaneously without losing accountability or execution discipline.\nThis is a role for a project manager who wants to own outcomes, not just manage schedules. You should be comfortable operating between government customers, technical teams, and company leadership and bringing structure, urgency, and accountability to complex programs.\nWe care about our team's well-being. We offer a competitive benefits package that includes comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, plus a 401(k) retirement plan.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5551,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":5,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Retirement plans","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Marine & Ocean Engineering","Underwater & Marine Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T22:10:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.503,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":47,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/terradepth-project-manager-customer-technical-liaison","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/terradepth-project-manager-customer-technical-liaison.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T16:28:57Z","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":25133,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":176570},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=176570"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fterradepth-project-manager-customer-technical-liaison"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Fterradepth-project-manager-customer-technical-liaison"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Fterradepth-project-manager-customer-technical-liaison"},{"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/terradepth-project-manager-customer-technical-liaison\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fterradepth-project-manager-customer-technical-liaison"}]}
