Job description

Overview

GovCIO is seeking a sharp, execution-focused Project Manager who knows the VA identity/IAM environment and can drive delivery on a high-visibility initiative to a fixed November 11 date. This person owns the workstream's day-to-day execution — planning, coordination, dependency and risk management, and stakeholder reporting — while partnering closely with the WS2 Scrum Master and IAM Tech Lead to keep the team's agile cadence running. They bring enough IAM domain fluency to engage credibly with VA identity stakeholders and to translate cleanly between the technical team and program leadership. This is a fully remote position located within the United States.

Responsibilities

  • Own IAM workstream execution — drive the workstream's delivery plan, milestones, and commitments toward the Veterans Day release.
  • Manage cross-workstream dependencies and surface, track, and report risks and issues for ESC reporting.
  • Partner with the Scrum Master to support sprint execution — backlog readiness, sprint planning, refinement, blocker removal — and step into scrum facilitation as needed.
  • Partner with the IAM Tech Lead to translate technical scope (e.g. Clear / CSP integration, long-lived sessions, magic-link, MPI correlation) into plans, schedules, and status leadership can act on.
  • Coordinate across VA identity stakeholders and external gates (Clear contract, MPI correlation record, AO policy decisions).
  • Maintain the WS2 view in the integrated schedule and Jira board: sprints, stories, features, and dependencies.
  • Deliver clear, concise status and escalations to PMO and program leadership.

Qualifications

Bachelor's with 12 years (or commensurate experience).

Required Skills and Experience

  • Demonstrated experience managing software delivery in an agile / SAFe environment.
  • Working knowledge of the VA identity / IAM landscape, including credential service providers (Login.gov, ID.me, Clear), sign-in service, identity proofing (IAL / AAL), MPI, and Okta.
  • Proven ability to manage dependencies, risks, and stakeholders on a fixed-deadline program.
  • Strong communication with the ability to translate between technical teams and executive stakeholders.
  • Comfortable operating within agile ceremonies and collaborating closely with a Scrum Master and Tech Lead.
  • Clearance Required: Ability to obtain and maintain a public trust clearance.

Preferred Skills and Experience

  • Familiarity with SAFe ceremonies (PI planning, scrum of scrums, PO sync).
  • Exposure to ATO and federal security / policy processes.
  • Hands-on Jira and agile-tooling experience.

Posted Salary Range

USD $170,000.00 - USD $185,000.00 /Yr.
