Job Description

Role Overview

PacSci EMC is seeking a Head of Program Management to lead the Program Management Office (PMO) responsible for sustaining programs within a complex, highly engineered defense environment. This role is accountable for ensuring strong, consistent execution across cost, schedule, quality, and customer commitments, while serving as a key connector across engineering, operations, quality, and supply chain.

This is a leadership role with broad ownership, operating with a business mindset across program execution and organizational capability. You will lead a distributed team of program managers while strengthening an established PMO framework, elevating execution rigor, and driving alignment across a highly matrixed environment where success depends on both direct leadership and influence.

Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end execution of sustaining programs from contract award through delivery, ensuring performance across cost, schedule, quality, and customer commitments
  • Operate with a business ownership mindset, taking accountability for program performance, customer outcomes, and execution tradeoffs
  • Translate contract requirements into executable program plans, schedules, and delivery frameworks
  • Lead, develop, and elevate a team of ~14 program managers across multiple sites, setting clear expectations and raising the bar on performance
  • Assess and strengthen an existing PMO framework to improve scalability, consistency, and execution discipline
  • Build organizational capability through talent assessment, coaching, onboarding, training, and continuous improvement
  • Drive cross-functional alignment across engineering, operations, quality, supply chain, and finance, ensuring coordinated execution
  • Influence without authority in a matrixed environment, establishing accountability and clarity across teams that do not directly report to you
  • Introduce and scale performance metrics, dashboards, and reporting to improve visibility into program health, risks, and outcomes
  • Ensure execution aligns with contractual and regulatory requirements, supporting disciplined and predictable delivery

Qualifications

  • Significant experience in defense or government contracting environments, with strong understanding of contract execution and customer expectations
  • Background in prime or sub-prime defense organizations strongly preferred
  • Proven leadership of program management or PMO functions, including direct team leadership
  • Demonstrated experience leading teams while influencing cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority
  • Track record of building or elevating organizational capability (teams, processes, systems, training)
  • Experience improving or scaling execution in growing or evolving environments, with measurable impact
  • Demonstrated business ownership mindset, including managing performance, tradeoffs, and outcomes tied to programs
  • Technical credibility through experience in engineering, manufacturing, quality, or similarly complex environments
  • Experience with program controls (e.g., EVM, IMS, or similar frameworks) in defense or highly regulated environments
  • Thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments with competing priorities and ambiguity

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
