Overview

We’re looking for a highly organized, hands-on Program Manager to lead a technical training course that runs multiple sessions throughout the year. You’ll own the program from start to finish: planning each session, managing instructors and role players, coordinating schedules and logistics, and making sure every cohort gets a professional, consistent, and engaging adult learning experience. As the primary point of accountability for program performance, you’ll work closely with stakeholders, keep budgets on track, and keep operations running smoothly behind the scenes. This is a full-time, on-site role in Williamsburg, VA.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Plan, schedule, and lead multiple training sessions throughout the year, from early prep through final debrief.
  • Build and support a strong team of instructors, role players, and program staff so every session meets a high standard.
  • Run day-to-day program operations, including logistics, materials, facilities, and communications with participants.
  • Own the program budget by tracking spending, preparing forecasts, and producing financial reports that keep the program on scope and on target.
  • Apply a working knowledge of contracting basics to stay compliant and keep the program aligned with Sponsor requirements.
  • Track key metrics and program performance, and share clear, regular updates with leadership and stakeholders.
  • Bring adult learning best practices to the program and continuously improve the participant experience and outcomes.
  • Serve as the go-to point of contact for all program questions and coordination.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of program management experience.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience managing budgets and finances.
  • Solid understanding of basic contracting concepts.
  • Strong computer skills, including proficiency with standard office applications.
  • Active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.

Desired Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field such as adult learning, human resource development, operations management, or business administration.
  • Background in adult learning or managing training programs.
  • Experience serving as a Technical Operations Officer.

  • Active TS/SCI w/ Poly security clearance required.
