Senior Program Delivery Manager

About

Constellation seeks a Senior Program Delivery Manager to lead delivery across complex, technology-driven initiatives supporting federal clients. This role is responsible for owning program execution end-to-end, coordinating across technical and functional teams, and ensuring alignment between client objectives and delivered solutions. The Program Manager partners closely with technical leadership to drive priorities, manage dependencies, and guide decision-making across workstreams.

This is a client-facing leadership role requiring strong judgment, accountability, and the ability to operate beyond project and schedule task tracking. Senior Program Delivery Manager is expected to engage with technical teams, understand system capabilities and constraints, and effectively translate between stakeholders to ensure delivery outcomes meet mission needs. A strong technical background and the ability to intuitively understand complex system or programming requirements is essential.

Core Responsibilities:

• Program Ownership: Own end-to-end delivery across multiple workstreams, ensuring alignment with client objectives, timelines, and contract requirements. Drive priorities, manage dependencies, and maintain accountability for overall program performance.
• Client Leadership: Serve as the primary interface with stakeholders, leading meetings, presenting progress and solutions, and guiding decision-making. Proactively manage expectations, risks, and trade-offs.
• Delivery Management: Coordinate across technical and functional teams to ensure execution stays on track. Identify risks, remove blockers, and drive resolution of issues impacting delivery, quality, or schedule.
• Technical Engagement: Work closely with technical leads to understand system architecture, capabilities, and constraints. Translate between technical teams and stakeholders to ensure clear alignment on requirements and solutions.
• Decision & Risk Management: Anticipate challenges, escalate appropriately, and make informed decisions to keep delivery moving. Ensure issues are addressed early and do not become program-level risks.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate must have the following experience, background, and credentials:

• 8+ years of experience in program or project management supporting technology-driven initiatives.
• Demonstrated ownership of end-to-end delivery across multiple workstreams (not limited to sprint or task management).
• Experience working closely with engineering teams and ability to understand technical concepts, system architecture, and delivery constraints.
• Strong client-facing experience, including leading meetings, presenting updates, and driving decisions with stakeholders.
• Proven ability to manage priorities, risks, and dependencies in complex, fast-paced environments.
• Be a U.S. citizen able to pass a background investigation by the client agency. DHS clearance with CBP/ICE, or DoD Top-Secret preferred.

Preferred Skills:

• PMP or Agile certification.
• Experience with DHS or government financial invoicing and reconciliation processes.
• Technical background with Python, SQL, or full-stack application development.
• Experience supporting federal programs or mission-critical operations.
• Background in process automation or digital transformation projects.
• Familiarity with data governance and compliance processes.
