We are Skyward.

That is, a love for people, for improvement, for human advancement through information technology. We are a people-centered business with a desire to serve others. We are diverse and unified; creative and collaborative; a collection of complementary, not competing talents. And though on the surface we remain relaxed, beneath, a torrent of energy links us to our civic tech mission.

We stand by our values, and we won’t compromise on any of them.

Integrity: We’re conscientious, intentional, and empathetic. Our words and actions align. That’s our character. Please don’t ask us to play another part, we’re poor actors.

Compassionate: If we may borrow a quote from Theodore Roosevelt: “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” Because our team is thoughtful and supportive, caring deeply for each other, our clients, and our work, this comes naturally.

Inquisitive: We remain students by failing openly and turning lessons into solutions.

Unconventional: For us, life isn’t what happens outside of work. Work happens inside of life and our culture erases the line often dividing the two.

Authentic: Made possible only because we embody the values listed above. We’re relaxed and fun yet intensely curious and driven. Team members are placed with thought, care, and precision to ensure that Trust, Truth, and Transparency continue to represent our brand.

Because of that, we continue Onward, Upward, and Skyward.

(**CONTINGENT HIRE BASED ON CONTRACT AWARD**)

We need a Program Manager.

You love keeping a Risk Management Program humming: continuous monitoring, security authorization, risk-based asset management, and the dozens of moving parts in between.

If you’ve managed federal cybersecurity programs, can speak fluent NIST RMF and FISMA without breaking eye contact, and know how to keep a CISO, a COR, and a multi-stream technical team rowing in the same direction, we’d love to talk.

Come join us if you’re motivated to learn from others, to learn from mistakes, and to be part of a future-looking, growth-oriented team.

Let’s go Skyward together.

Serve as the single point of accountability for task order management and execution. You’re the captain of this ship.
Act as the primary liaison to the Government Program Manager, COR, and federal team leads. Run the weekly status cadence and the ad hoc fire drills with equal poise.
Plan, execute, and track all program activities across three task areas: Program Management & Project Support, Risk Management Operations, and Risk-Based Asset Management.
Integrate management and technical activities across the task order so Cybersecurity Assurance, Continuous Monitoring & Analytics, Vulnerability, Configuration, and Database Management are all moving in the same direction.
Manage corporate resources, supervise contractor staff and subcontractors, and review the work of team members for quality, accuracy, and alignment to performance standards.
Own the program’s deliverable engine: Project Management Plan, Risk Management Plan, Quality Control Plan, Weekly Status Reports, Monthly Program Management Reviews, Risk Register, Roadmaps, Ad hoc reports, and a Telework Plan that actually works.
Develop written recommendations, executive briefing materials, and oral presentations for stakeholders.
Drive risk identification, validation, and response in alignment with the NIST Risk Management and Cybersecurity Frameworks.
Champion continuous improvement: stand up automation, refine SOPs and playbooks, and use metrics to make the program measurably better quarter over quarter.

BA/BS and a minimum of five (5) continuous years of Program Management experience in cybersecurity (or equivalent area) leading federal IT or cyber programs of similar scope.

One active PMI certification: PMP, PgMP, or PMI-RMP. (Yes, it has to be active.)

An active ISC2 CISSP, CISM, or comparable professional cybersecurity certification.

An active Agile certification: PMI-ACP, SAFe Agilist, Scrum Alliance CSM, or comparable.

Demonstrated experience leading multi-stream cybersecurity programs (10+ FTEs across cyber compliance, continuous monitoring, vulnerability/configuration management, or similar).

Working knowledge of FISMA, the NIST RMF, OMB Circular A-130, and DHS 4300A — enough to translate them into operational decisions, not just cite chapter numbers.

Experience managing federal contract performance.

Strong writing chops for executive briefings, memos, SOPs, policy, and decision papers — you can take a messy technical issue and produce a one-pager a CISO will actually read.

A track record of running cross-functional, remote, and collocated teams in dynamic environments using Agile/SAFe practices.

Comfort with the program manager’s tool belt: MS Project or Jira, MS Teams, SharePoint, and reporting/dashboarding tools you can read fluently even if you’re not the one building them.

Excellent stakeholder management instincts: you can de-escalate, re-prioritize, and re-baseline without anyone leaving the meeting upset.

Prior experience supporting USCIS, DHS components, or other federal civilian agencies on continuous monitoring, security authorization, or Ongoing Authorization (OA) programs.

Hands-on familiarity with GRC tooling - CSAM, DHS Fenix, RegScale - and SIEM platforms like Splunk.

Direct exposure to Vulnerability Management (Tenable/Nessus, Prisma Cloud), Configuration Management (per NIST SP 800-128), or Database Hardening using DISA STIGs and CIS Benchmarks.

A sense of humor that survives a Friday afternoon data call.
