The CETS program provides Information Technology services and technical subject matter expertise (SME) for the Army ECMA, supporting the overall strategy and migration to the cARMY environment up to Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level (IL) 6.

You will be responsible for the successful delivery of a program to a customer or managing the performance of a task or project as part of a larger program under the direction of another PM. This includes managing and integrating activities in accordance with contract requirements while ensuring technical, schedule, cost, and financial performance. You will define or contribute to the program baseline and execute the program to comply with baseline requirements, manage risk, customer relationships, and program staffing, and ensure compliance with quality standards while escalating challenges to SAIC leadership. In terms of program execution, you will identify key resources required to manage and execute the program baseline, often requiring frequent, real-time changes to meet dynamic program needs. You will analyze significant variances and establish corrective actions, being responsible for overall execution and delivery as the sole PM on a Category 2 program with domestic or international funding. You will manage and integrate a large program staff that includes subcontractors or suppliers and task or project leads, providing guidance and direction to the internal cross-functional team. Additionally, you will develop program-specific processes, procedures, techniques, or tools, requiring a systems engineering or detailed technical approach involving trade studies, risk mitigation, or complex scheduling. As the primary interface for all program aspects and issues, you will be reviewed by Customer Group (CG), Market Segment (MS), or other staff to assess objectives, impacts, relationships, synergy, and other program elements of similar or related programs. You will possess mature leadership and management skills, providing advice and assistance to other PMs, and will be responsible for personnel management of program staff, including providing strategic vision to the team and resolving serious program issues. You will also support business development by developing or significantly contributing to a strategic BD plan to expand current account offerings and identifying potential buying agents for growth beyond the current account and future related accounts.
