Responsibilities
- Lead and coordinate complex enterprise technology initiatives from planning through execution, including the development of work plans, schedules, priorities, deliverables, decision points, and performance measures.

- Coordinate with executive, program, technical, operational, acquisition, security, and contractor stakeholders to maintain alignment and support timely decision-making.
- Identify, document, and manage technical, operational, organizational, integration, staffing, schedule, and transition risks that could affect delivery.
- Develop and maintain program-management materials, including implementation plans, schedules, action trackers, risk and issue logs, decision papers, status reports, operating procedures, and performance dashboards.
- Lead or support large-scale technical transitions, incumbent workforce continuity, knowledge transfer, credentialing, system access, onboarding, and operational-readiness activities.
- Develop and review executive briefings, technical narratives, management approaches, transition strategies, staffing plans, operating procedures, and performance frameworks.
Requirements

- Must have experience overseeing large-scale technology services, technical programs, contractors, or multi-vendor delivery environments.
- Must possess strong knowledge of federal technology governance, organizational structures, technical decision-making, stakeholder responsibilities, and contractor interaction.
- Must have experience evaluating technical delivery, program performance, quality, schedule, risk, staffing, resources, key personnel, or contractor performance.
- Must be able to develop high-quality program plans, executive briefings, decision materials, status reports, risk assessments, operating procedures, and other management deliverables.
- Must be able to operate independently, manage competing priorities, organize ambiguous requirements, and move complex activities forward with limited direction.
- Must be able to assess complex technical and management approaches from an enterprise and executive perspective and translate that assessment into actionable recommendations and executable plans.
- The successful candidate must have held a substantive leadership role within SSA's technology organization, with broad responsibility for major technical programs, portfolios, organizations, or enterprise services.
