The posting

SteerBridge is a modern technology company delivering innovative, mission‑focused solutions to the U.S. Government and private sector. Leveraging deep expertise in federal acquisition, digital transformation, and emerging technologies, we deliver agile, commercial‑grade capabilities that accelerate operational effectiveness and drive measurable mission success.

At the core of SteerBridge is our people—especially the veterans whose leadership, problem‑solving mindset, and commitment to excellence elevate every project we support. We don’t simply hire exceptional talent; we cultivate it, creating meaningful career pathways for veterans, military spouses, and professionals who share our passion for advancing technology and strengthening the missions we serve.

Position Overview

SteerBridge is seeking an experienced Program Manager to lead an anticipated federal engagement supporting Headquarters Marine Corps. The Program Manager will be responsible for overall contract execution and will serve as SteerBridge’s primary point of contact for the government customer.

This individual will oversee contract financials, staffing, schedules, deliverables, quality, risk, subcontractors, compliance, and performance reporting. The ideal candidate will have direct contractor-side experience managing federal contracts—not solely government acquisition oversight or general operational leadership.

This position is contingent upon SteerBridge receiving the contract award.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as SteerBridge’s primary point of contact for the Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative, government Program Manager, and other customer stakeholders, maintaining strong communication and customer relationships.
  • Maintain overall accountability for contract performance, including scope, cost, schedule, staffing, quality, risk, deliverables, and customer satisfaction throughout the program lifecycle.
  • Lead program planning, execution, monitoring, reporting, and closeout, maintaining program management plans, schedules, risk registers, staffing plans, status reports, and other required contract deliverables.
  • Manage contract financial performance, including budgets, forecasts, invoicing, cost controls, profitability, and the financial performance of subcontractors, consultants, and vendors.
  • Lead program staffing and workforce management, including recruiting, onboarding, retention, performance management, and personnel allocation, while ensuring compliance with contractual labor-category, clearance, education, certification, and experience requirements.
  • Oversee quality and performance management, including the Quality Control Plan, contract requirements, performance standards, milestones, reporting deadlines, corrective and preventive actions, and activities supporting strong CPARS performance.
  • Prepare for and lead government performance reviews, program reviews, contract-status meetings, scope analysis, contract modifications, change management, and responses to customer requests.
  • Coordinate with corporate leadership, recruiting, human resources, finance, contracts, security, operations, and external partners to ensure compliance with applicable federal acquisition requirements, company policies, security procedures, and contractual obligations.

Required Qualifications

  • Eligibility requirements: U.S. citizenship is required for this position under applicable federal contract requirements.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Program Management, Finance, Logistics, Engineering, Public Administration, or a related field.
  • Active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.
  • Significant experience managing federal government contracts or task orders as a contractor Program Manager, with responsibility for staffing, deliverables, schedules, quality, risk, and customer relationships.
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary teams in complex federal environments and coordinating across government customers, internal stakeholders, subcontractors, and teaming partners.
  • Demonstrated experience managing contract financials, including budgets, forecasts, invoicing, cost controls, and subcontractor performance.
  • Strong knowledge of federal contracting requirements and FAR/DFARS-based contract execution, including contractual reporting, government performance reviews, CPARS, and corrective-action planning.
  • Strong leadership, organizational, analytical, problem-solving, and written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work onsite or in a hybrid capacity in the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area, based on final contract requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Active Secret or TS/SCI security clearance.
  • Experience supporting Headquarters Marine Corps, the Department of the Navy, or another Department of Defense organization, including experience managing classified federal contracts.
  • Experience managing federal contracts valued at $20 million or more and overseeing multiple subcontractors, task orders, or geographically dispersed teams.
  • Familiarity with Quality Control Plans, Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs), integrated master schedules, earned value management, and formal government program reviews.
  • Master’s degree in Business, Public Administration, Program Management, or a related discipline.

Proposal-Contingent Notice

This position is being recruited in support of an upcoming federal proposal. Any offer of employment will be contingent upon SteerBridge receiving the contract award, final government approval, verification of qualifications and clearance, and confirmation of funding and position availability. The anticipated award and start dates are subject to change.
