Project Manager II

We have an exciting opportunity located in Poway, CA for a talented Project Manager to support the development and deployment of a customer-facing Electronic Information Exchange (EIE) tool. 

This position reports to an MQ-9B Sustainment Program Manager and will work side by side with an EIE Program Manager.  While the EIE is an Information Technology (IT) solution, this position will focus on the business processes that define it and support delivery to the customer.  This position will support integration of existing and new IT applications for permission-based secure access to a customer portal designed to exchange data with multiple domestic and international customers.  Development of customer testing plans/procedures, EIE familiarization training materials, and user guides for use and maintenance of the system, as well as establishment of help desk procedures and processes will also be a part of this role.  This position will support all phases of the EIE program from initiation through delivery and sustainment.  This position has strong potential for career advancement as the EIE capability is deployed to more SkyGuardian Global Support Solution (SGSS) customers.
