Contract Working Program Manager Executive Acquisition Support & Program Leadership

Location: Huntsville, Alabama (Redstone Arsenal)

Employment Type: Full-Time | On-Site

Security Clearance: Active TS/SCI Required

The Opportunity

Team Hive is seeking an exceptional Contract Working Program Manager to lead our team supporting the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Technical Acquisition and Contracting Support (TACS) contract.

This position extends beyond traditional program management. The successful candidate will serve in a unique dual-capacity leadership role, providing direct acquisition and contracting support to senior MDA executives while maintaining responsibility for the successful execution, performance, and operational management of a complex federal services contract.

This is not simply a customer relationship management position, nor is it exclusively an acquisition advisory role. It requires an accomplished leader who can operate effectively at the executive level, lead a diverse team of acquisition professionals, and establish the organizational structure, accountability, and operational discipline necessary for sustained program success.

The position is structured around two equally important responsibilities

• Executive Acquisition and Contracting Support (Approximately 50%): Provide direct, high-level acquisition, contracting, and strategic advisory support to senior MDA leadership. This includes supporting executive priorities, evaluating complex acquisition challenges, developing actionable recommendations, and contributing directly to mission-critical initiatives.
• Contract and Program Leadership (Approximately 50%): Lead the overall execution and management of the TACS contract, including personnel leadership, staffing, contractual compliance, financial oversight, subcontractor coordination, customer engagement, and integration with Hive's corporate support functions.

The successful candidate must recognize that these responsibilities are complementary but equally demanding. Executive priorities may require significant personal attention, making the ability to establish effective delegation, empower qualified personnel, and maintain operational continuity essential.

The standards are exceptionally high. This position demands mature executive judgment, exceptional organizational discipline, proactive leadership, accountability, and the ability to accomplish results through others.

This opportunity is intended for seasoned acquisition and program management professionals who thrive in demanding executive environments, take ownership of complex challenges, and understand that successful leadership is measured not only by personal contributions but also by the performance of the organization they lead.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this position is measured by the ability to deliver exceptional executive acquisition support while maintaining a disciplined, responsive, and well-managed contract operation.

The successful candidate consistently demonstrates the ability to

• Balance two demanding responsibilities. Provide high-value executive acquisition support while maintaining effective oversight of program execution, personnel, contractual requirements, and operational performance.
• Lead through others. Establish a clear delegation and support structure that empowers qualified personnel, distributes responsibilities appropriately, and ensures continuity without requiring constant personal involvement.
• Create organizational clarity. Define roles, responsibilities, decision-making authorities, reporting relationships, and escalation procedures across the program and supporting corporate functions.
• Exercise sound executive judgment. Navigate sensitive personnel matters, competing stakeholder priorities, contractual considerations, and complex organizational challenges with discretion, professionalism, and maturity.
