Program Manager

JPI is seeking a Program Manager SME to serve as a subject matter expert in providing leadership support for priority initiatives.

At JPI, we strive to empower our people and excel for our clients. We hold ourselves to high standards and prioritize our values of being one team with unwavering integrity. We are motivated by our mission and driven to deliver solutions that exceed expectations. Will you join us?

Responsibilities Include:

• Provide leadership support for priority initiatives including senior leadership briefings, leadership councils, Congressional requests, ad hoc data calls, and various programmatic needs.
• Provide support with program management and execution of supplemental Appropriations.
• Support the lifecycle of policy promulgation to include developing draft policy and necessary updates as the program evolves and business processes modernize.

• MA or MS in Management, Engineering, or Business/Financial related field.

• At least 15 years of experience working within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or Department of Defense (DoD), with a minimum of 10 years specifically focused on Federal Real Property management, including responsibilities such as property acquisition, asset optimization, space planning, portfolio management, and ensuring compliance with federal regulations and policies.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience leading and directing complex engagements or projects within DHS or DoD.

• Complex projects may include infrastructure development, policy implementation, risk management, resource allocation, and ensuring that the programs are delivered within scope, budget, and regulatory requirements.
