The Integrated Solutions portfolio encompasses over 6 concurrent programs spanning development, deployment, and sustainment.\nThis is a program execution leadership role, not a project coordinator seat. You will own work packages end to end, run the integrated master schedule and cost/schedule discipline across the portfolio, and act for the Program Manager in their absence. The TMF team includes a Lead Systems Engineer, a Service Delivery Manager, and cloud and network engineering; you are the program mechanics that turn their work into delivered, on-contract capability.\nWe're looking for a deputy who has run real programs: someone fluent in the discipline of scope, schedule, budget, and risk on government contracts, and ready to step into full program ownership as the portfolio grows.\nThe day-to-day\nProgram Execution\nSupport Program Leadership: Support the Program Manager in all aspects of program planning, execution, and closure across the TMF portfolio, acting as their trusted second-in-command and designated alternate.\nDrive Work Package Execution: Own specific work packages and program threads end to end, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and to contract requirements.\nIntegrated Master Schedule: Build, maintain, and defend the integrated master schedule across concurrent TMF programs;

ensure deliverables are complete, on time, and accepted.\nProposal Support: Support capture and proposal efforts with program management content: BOEs, execution schedules, staffing plans, and past-performance narratives for follow-on and new TMF pursuits.\nSubcontract and Supply Chain: Coordinate with contracts, subcontracts, and supply chain on hardware procurement, vendor deliveries, and subcontractor performance for platform deployments.\nCustomer Engagement: Support customer interactions with DoD mission owners and program offices: program reviews, status briefings, and delivery acceptance, ensuring customer satisfaction and contractual compliance.\nCross-Functional Coordination\nCross-Functional Teams: Facilitate collaboration between systems engineering, cloud and network engineering, service delivery, security and compliance, finance, and operations so commitments stay aligned across functions.\nCommunication and Reporting: Prepare and present program updates, reports, and presentations to internal leadership and external stakeholders, tailoring technical and financial detail to the audience.\nProcess Improvement: Contribute to the continuous improvement of program management processes, tools, and best practices within Integrated Solutions.\nWhat you'll need\nRequired (Day-One Critical)\n4+ years of experience in program or project management within aerospace, defense, telecommunications, or a related high-tech industry\nProven experience managing complex technical projects with multiple stakeholders and cross-functional teams\nWorking command of program management fundamentals: scope, schedule, budget, and risk management on contractual efforts\nExperience with government contracts (DoD or other federal agencies), including deliverables and reporting obligations\nStrong understanding of program management methodologies (Waterfall, Agile, or hybrid) and tools\nExcellent communication skills, with the ability to tailor program and financial detail to leadership, engineering, and customer audiences\nBachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related field\nUS Citizenship or Lawful Permanent Residence required due to government contract requirements\nActive US DoD Secret clearance required\nAbility to travel domestically and internationally up to 25%\nOnsite position in the Carlsbad office\nStrongly Preferred (90-Day Ramp)\nExperience supporting managed services, network, SATCOM, or large-scale infrastructure programs\nEarned Value Management (EVM) experience on DoD programs\nBasis of Estimate (BOE) development and proposal support experience\nExperience with contract types and structures (FFP, cost-plus, OTA) and FAR-based contracting\nIntegrated master schedule ownership for multi-workstream programs\nSubcontractor or vendor management experience, including hardware procurement\nActive DoD Secret clearance currently held\nExperience with C4I, tactical network, or secure communications programs\nWhat will help you on the job\nPreferred (Accelerators)\nPMP or equivalent program management certification\nExperience on programs with FedRAMP, CMMC, or DoD accreditation deliverables\nFinancial analysis experience: program financial health tracking, EAC development, or BOE review\nExperience supporting captures or proposals in a defense contractor environment\nFamiliarity with network, cloud, or SD-WAN program deliver\nSalary range\n$94,500.00 - $149,000.00 / annually.\nFor specific work locations within San Jose, the San Francisco Bay area and New York City metropolitan area, the base pay range for this role is $117,000.00- $176,000.00/ annually\nAt Viasat, we consider many factors when it comes to compensation, including the scope of the position as well as your background and experience.
