Deputy Program Manager

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

At Intelliforce, we believe strong program leadership starts with understanding the mission, supporting the people doing the work, and staying ahead of what the customer needs next.

As the Deputy Program Manager on our FURIOUSLYFAST Prime Program, you will work closely with the Program Manager to help lead the day-to-day execution of a complex, multi-team mission program. You will connect the dots across technical teams, TTO leadership, staffing, finances, contracts, security, recruiting, and customer priorities to keep the program moving forward.

This is a highly visible leadership role for someone who knows how to operate in a fast-moving environment, build trusted relationships with technical and Government stakeholders, and turn program-level priorities into action.

You will help ensure we deliver on our commitments while taking care of the people responsible for delivering the mission.

What You Will Do

As Deputy Program Manager, you will partner with the Program Manager to support successful cost, schedule, staffing, technical performance, and overall execution of the contract.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Serve as a trusted partner to the Program Manager and help lead day-to-day program operations.

• Represent program leadership with Government customers, TTO leads, technical leaders, subcontractor partners, and Intelliforce leadership.

• Help manage program performance across multiple technical teams, workstreams, and TTOs.

• Monitor staffing, schedules, deliverables, financial performance, risks, and contractual commitments.

• Identify program issues early, develop solutions, and ensure leadership and the customer receive clear, timely updates.

• Coordinate across Engineering, Recruiting, HR, Security, Finance, Contracts, and Business Development.

• Work closely with TTO and technical leads to understand current priorities, staffing gaps, emerging requirements, and future demand.

• Partner with Recruiting to drive timely staffing of funded and anticipated positions.

• Support employee retention, engagement, career development, and resolution of personnel concerns across the program.

• Track program staffing levels, vacancies, onboarding activity, clearance transfers, attrition risks, and future workforce needs.

• Help allocate program resources, including staffing, facilities, budgets, and other program resources.

• Support development and maintenance of integrated schedules and program baselines.

• Review financial reporting, labor utilization, funding, estimates to complete, and other program financial data.

• Participate in risk identification, mitigation planning, and program-level decision making.

• Prepare program status updates, customer briefings, leadership reviews, and other formal program communications.

• Review technical, financial, and contractual reports before submission when appropriate.

• Ensure cross-functional coordination across technical disciplines and business functions.

• Work with Contracts and program leadership to maintain compliance with contractual, regulatory, and administrative requirements.

• Support Engineering Change Proposals, contract modifications, staffing changes, and other program growth activities.

• Help manage subcontractor relationships and maintain strong collaboration across a multi-company program environment.

• Step into the Program Manager role when needed and provide continuity of program leadership.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

This an Intelliforce Prime Program, which gives our leadership team direct visibility into the mission, customer priorities, staffing strategy, and long-term direction of the work.

This role sits at the center of that effort.

You will have the opportunity to influence how we support our technical teams, solve staffing challenges, manage growth, strengthen customer relationships, and position the program for long-term success.

You will also work closely with Intelliforce executive leadership. Your perspective will matter, and you will have direct involvement in decisions affecting the program and its people.
