Senior Delivery Lead – Technical Program Manager 

Defense Supply Chain Risk Management 

Location:  Remote working from Huntsville, Alabama, Utah, or Colorado with periodic travel to government customer sites 

Travel:  Up to 25% 

Clearance:  U.S. citizenship required; active Secret clearance preferred (ability to obtain and maintain required) 

Type:  Full-time 

About the Role 

Exiger Government Solutions is hiring a Senior Delivery Lead to own end-to-end delivery of an AI-enabled supply chain risk management (SCRM) program for a U.S. Department of War (DoW) customer. This is the single accountable leader for the engagement — responsible for the government relationship, contract performance, technical delivery, and the small delivery team that executes the work. 

This is not a back-office coordination role. You will be the face of the program to a sophisticated defense customer, the person who turns mission priorities into a delivery roadmap, and the one accountable for outcomes. You will manage delivery remotely while building and sustaining a strong, trusted relationship with the government program office. 

The program stands up a persistent, multi-tier supply chain illumination and monitoring capability: ingesting and analyzing government data, mapping risk across the full DoD SCRM taxonomy, integrating analytic outputs into government data environments, and delivering decision-grade reporting and courses of action. It has a multi-year horizon, and your focus is delivering and sustaining that capability with excellence across the period of performance. 

Exiger's platform is proven and in production with other defense customers. This engagement, however, is a first-of-kind stand-up in a new government environment: there is real integration, authorization, and data-onboarding work ahead, and you will operate with genuine ambiguity while the capability is established. We are looking for someone who builds trust and manages expectations through that early uncertainty — not someone expecting a turnkey deployment. 

This is a delivery role. You will own the delivery, delivery health, and key performance indicators. 

What You'll Do:

• Own the program. Serve as the single point of accountability to the government customer and internally — for scope, schedule, deliverables, quality, and risk across the full period of performance. 

• Run the customer relationship. Lead governance and reporting cadence with the government program office, manage stakeholder communication and expectations, and operate credibly with senior (O-5/O-6 and civilian equivalent) government leadership. 

• Drive delivery. Translate mission priorities into a delivery plan and roadmap. Manage execution against firm-fixed-price deliverables — platform access and support, user training, and a high volume of supplier/entity exploration and investigation reports. 

• Lead the team. Direct a small, blended delivery pod (e.g., SCRM subject matter expert and data scientists), manage resourcing and escalations, and own overall delivery health. 

• Govern the technical work. Provide technical direction and quality oversight across data ingestion and hydration, multi-tier supply chain mapping, risk analytics, and integration into government cloud/data environments — without needing to be the hands-on engineer. 

• Coordinate security and authorization. Partner with security and authorizing officials to support the data, access, and authorization pathways the program depends on, in a controlled (CUI) environment. 

• Manage risk and change. Maintain a disciplined risk register, surface issues early, and manage scope and change control through established contract processes, escalating commercial and pricing decisions to the appropriate roles. 

What You Need:

• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience. 

• Minimum 8 years of total professional experience, including several years delivering programs in a defense or national-security environment as a delivery lead. 

• Demonstrated experience as the accountable lead on at least one comparable software, data-integration, or analytics program of similar scale and complexity, carried through delivery. 

• Demonstrated knowledge and experience delivering SaaS, cloud software, or platform-based capabilities into U.S. Department of War (DoW) or federal government customers — including onboarding into government cloud environments, navigating authorization and access pathways, and integrating the capability into the customer's operational workflows. 

• Strong technical fluency — able to govern data pipelines, analytics methodology, and platform integration credibly and challenge technical tradeoffs, even if not personally writing code. 

• Proven ability to manage a small delivery team and operate as a trusted advisor to senior government stakeholders. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication, including executive-level briefing and reporting. 

• U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance. 

• Ability to work in and protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) consistent with DoD requirements. 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Active Secret (or higher) clearance. 

• Direct experience with supply chain risk management, sustainment, logistics, or industrial-base programs. 

• Familiarity with the DoD SCRM Taxonomy v2.0 and relevant authorities (e.g., 10 U.S.C. 3252, NDAA SCRM provisions). 

• Experience delivering into or integrating with platforms such as Palantir / Foundry, and modern cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake), and familiarity with FedRAMP High / IL5 environments. 

• Direct experience delivering SaaS or software-enabled capabilities specifically to the U.S. Space Force (USSF), U.S. Air Force (USAF), or Department of the Air Force organizations; experience with the U.S. Army or other DoW components also valued. 

• PMP, DAU program management training, or equivalent program management credentials. 

What Success Looks Like: 

In your first year, you will have established a trusted operating relationship with the government program office, delivered against all contracted milestones on schedule, stood up a healthy and predictable delivery cadence with your team, and earned the option-period continuation through consistent delivery performance. 

Why You’ll Love Working at Exiger: 

• High-performance culture rooted in accountability, collaboration, and excellence. 

• Discretionary Time Off with no maximum limits. 

• Industry leading health, vision, and dental benefits. 

• Competitive compensation package. 

• 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave. 

• Flexible, hybrid working approach. 

• Wellness stipends and programs. 

• Career development and certification reimbursement. 

In compliance with applicable pay transparency laws, the anticipated base salary range for candidates hired to work in Colorado is $160,000 - $200,000 annually. Actual compensation will be determined based on factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, education, certifications, geographic location, market conditions, and business needs.
