Requirements
• Active TS/SCI clearance. • 10+ years of program management supporting DoD customers, with full-lifecycle experience from requirements through sustainment. • Deep contracting knowledge: you’ve managed programs under SBIR Phase III, OTA (10 U.S.C. §4022), FAR/DFAR, or IDIQ vehicles and can talk CLINs, mods, PoP extensions, and option exercises with contracting officers in your sleep. • Enough DFAR and CMMC fluency to spot compliance obligations in contract clauses (DFARS 7012, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0 levels) and direct the right internal teams to address them. You’re the program leader who ensures nothing falls through the cracks — not the compliance officer who builds the system. • Experience delivering software products (not services) to USG. You know the difference between managing headcount and driving product adoption. • Baseline fluency in tactical networking and edge-to-cloud architectures — enough to hold your own in conversations about DDIL environments and integration requirements. • Comfort with startup ambiguity. You build processes from scratch, not inherit them. • Executive presence. You can brief a GO/FO and then jump into sprint planning the same afternoon. • SBIR Phase III transition experience: sole-source justifications, production-level negotiations, shepherding tech from prototype to production contract. • Familiarity with DoD innovation orgs and their mechanisms: DIU (CSO), AFWERX, CDAO, NavalX, SOCOM-AT&L, Army Applications Lab. • Deeper DFAR accounting chops (FAR Part 31, CAS, DCAA readiness) or hands-on CMMC assessment experience (SSP, POA&M, C3PAO coordination). • Technical PM background in software, systems engineering, or tactical network engineering. • Integration experience with ATAK/TAK, C4ISR platforms, or tactical radio/MANET systems. • POM cycle navigation and color-of-money fluency (RDT&E, O&M, Procurement). • PMP or equivalent. Useful, not required.
Responsibilities
• Own scope, schedule, cost, quality, and P&L across the program portfolio. This is a financially accountable role. • Translate customer mission requirements into internal priorities with Product and Engineering. Deliver on timelines that match operational urgency, not traditional acquisition cycles. • Stand up lightweight, rigorous program controls that let Ditto move fast while meeting government expectations. Identify risks early and fix them before they escalate. • Be the program-level voice on DFAR compliance and CMMC readiness. You won’t own security infrastructure, but you’ll direct and advise Security, IT, and Finance when contract clauses create compliance obligations. Think air traffic controller, not the pilot. • GROW THE BUSINESS • Manage execution across SBIR Phase III contracts, OTAs, and FAR/DFAR-based vehicles while identifying the right contracting pathways for follow-on work. • Partner with BD and Capture on strategic opportunities: SBIR Phase III transitions, sole-source justifications, OTA prototyping and production through DIU, AFWERX, CDAO, NavalX, and SOCOM-AT&L, and positioning on GSA Schedules and IDIQ vehicles. • Navigate POM cycles, color-of-money constraints, and funding landscapes. Build the business case that moves customers from prototype to program of record. • KNOW THE CUSTOMER • Be the trusted partner for DoW program managers, contracting officers, and end users. Manage CDRLs and ensure Ditto integrates into the broader ecosystem: ATAK, TAK Server, Cloud Deployments, MANET radios, and C4ISR systems. • Travel to customer sites and strategic field demos (~10%). The best PMs understand the operating environment firsthand. • Improve Ditto’s Public Sector Operations function. Set the standards, tools, and processes that define how we deliver to the government. Mentor PMs and cross-functional teammates. • FIRST SIX MONTHS • Master program financials, contract structures, technical scope, and customer relationships. • Map Ditto’s contracting landscape: where we are, where the gaps are, and a plan for expanding our footprint across SBIR Phase III, OTA, and IDIQ pathways. • Partner with Security and IT to assess DFAR compliance and CMMC readiness. Prioritize what matters for near-term pursuits. • Become the go-to leader for customers and internal teams alike. Build the credibility that makes Ditto the partner people trust with their hardest DDIL problems. • Stand up reporting cadences, risk management, and program governance that let us scale from a handful of programs to a portfolio.
