Agile Program Manager (Army Training Systems Portfolio)

About the Role

Threat Tec is seeking an Agile Program Manager to lead a large, cross-functional professional services team supporting U.S. Army simulation, training, test and threat acquisition programs in Orlando, Florida and at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. This is a key personnel role. You will lead the overall contract effort

and move a traditional staffing model to an Agile, capacity-based model, where work is pulled from a prioritized backlog and success is measured by outcomes and delivery velocity rather than headcount. You will be the primary interface with senior Army program leadership

Key Responsibilities

• Lead overall contract execution as Program Manager, with full authority to act on daily contract operations; be available within the 0600-1800 operating window.
• Manage an enterprise capacity pool of engineers, analysts, logisticians, financial, cyber and program support professionals, reallocating people across multiple project offices based on backlog priority, workload surges, blockers and changing mission demand.
• Stand up and scale Agile practices (for example SAFe, Scrum or Kanban) across multiple teams while keeping work aligned to the customer's strategic and mission goals.
• Own the Jira environment: capacity tracking, backlog workflows, sprint and PI planning, velocity forecasting, flow metrics (cycle time, throughput, WIP) and executive dashboards.
• Use delivery metrics to spot risk early, pivot underperforming efforts and continuously improve team performance; reduce idle time and maximize productivity of multi-skilled staff.
• Brief senior Government leadership, communicate risks and blockers quickly, facilitate decisions and maintain transparent performance reporting.
• Lead contract transition with no degradation to mission, including retention and onboarding of experienced staff.
• Lead and present live Agile demonstrations and capability briefings to senior Government stakeholders.

• Demonstrated experience scaling Agile practices across multiple teams.
• A current advanced Agile credential: PMI-ACP, Certified Scrum Professional (CSP), SAFe Agilist, SAFe Practice Consultant (SPC) or an equivalent advanced certification.
• Hands-on Jira experience tracking capacity, managing backlog workflows, forecasting delivery velocity, and building flow metrics and dashboards.
• A documented record of using specific delivery metrics to turn around a failing project or materially improve team performance (please describe this in your resume).

Preferred Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI.
• SAFe SPC or SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE); PMP or PgMP.
