Senior Program Management Support Lead

Description

Quantum Sky is looking for a collaborative, highly organized Senior Program Management Support Lead who enjoys bringing structure to complex federal programs and helping teams deliver with confidence. You will work alongside the customer’s technical Program Manager, serving as a force multiplier rather than a replacement. Your focus will be program governance, stakeholder coordination, reporting, deliverable management, and executive visibility, allowing technical leaders to remain focused on mission and solution delivery.

This is a high-impact opportunity to support a key customer, improve Program Management Reviews (PMRs) across federal programs, and help accelerate Government review and disposition of backlogged Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms).

Responsibilities:

• Partner with the technical PM and program leadership to keep schedules, milestones, staffing, financials, risks, decisions, dependencies, and contractual commitments moving forward.
• Build trusted relationships with the customer, task leads, technical teams, corporate partners, and subcontractors; prepare clear status reports, executive briefings, and decision-ready materials.
• Coordinate contractual deliverables and recurring reports from preparation through acceptance, identifying risks, variances, and barriers early.
• Develop a scalable PMR framework with reusable templates, data calls, checklists, calendars, and consistent reporting conventions; guide preparation and quality reviews across supported programs.
• Develop remediation validation packages for at least 80% of the existing POA&M backlog, aligned with program priorities and Government direction.
• Work with technical SMEs, system owners, and control owners to gather and quality-check evidence. Each package will present supporting evidence, remediation status, risk considerations, and a recommended closure or disposition path.
• Maintain a transparent POA&M tracker covering status, ownership, aging, evidence gaps, dependencies, Government feedback, and final disposition; elevate obstacles affecting the 80% objective.
• Facilitate completeness reviews while ensuring technical determinations, risk acceptance, and final disposition remain with authorized technical and Government officials.
• Share best practices, improve repeatable processes, and mentor junior team members supporting program artifacts and deliverables.

Qualifications

Required:

• Significant experience supporting federal, IT, cybersecurity, professional services, or similarly complex programs. Successful candidates will typically bring 10 or more years of relevant experience, including about 5 years in program or project management roles.
• Comfort coordinating program plans, contractual deliverables, schedules, staffing, financials, risks, and stakeholder expectations in a federal contracting environment.
• The ability to turn technical and operational information into clear executive presentations, decisions, actions, and follow-up.
• Clear communication, strong facilitation and organization, sound judgment, and a practical approach to solving complex problems.
• A collaborative style that builds trust across technical, operational, customer, corporate, and contract stakeholder groups without needing to own every technical decision.
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 tools such as PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Teams, and SharePoint.

Desired:

• A bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• A Project Management Professional (PMP) certification or comparable credential.
• Experience improving PMRs, executive dashboards, governance forums, or portfolio reporting across multiple programs.
• Familiarity with federal cybersecurity and compliance environments, including NIST, FedRAMP, FISMA, or POA&M management. Deep technical expertise is helpful but not required.

What Success Looks Like:

• Customers and leaders receive timely, accurate, decision-ready information, and the technical PM gains capacity to focus on technical and mission delivery.
• Program commitments, risks, decisions, and actions are visible and driven to closure, while PMRs become more useful and efficient.
• High-quality validation packages are completed for at least 80% of the existing POA&M backlog and advanced for Government review and disposition.

Clearance:

• U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain and maintain a Public Trust determination are required.
