Senior Technical Program Manager, Security & Infrastructure

About the role

True Anomaly is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead the GOVSEC/INDSEC portfolio. This role involves managing complex programs end-to-end, ensuring compliance and mission readiness for DoD and federal customers.

Responsibilities

• End-to-end program management for GOVSEC/INDSEC initiatives, from intake through delivery, using Jira and Confluence for tracking and documentation.
• Driving schedule and delivery for ATO/RMF efforts owned by the responsible security officers (ISSM/ISSOs).
• Tracking artifact production (SSPs, POA&Ms, SARs), surface blockers, and keeping control implementation and remediation on timeline.
• Cross-functional coordination across security engineering, GRC, IT, and program/mission teams to unblock compliance-gating work.
• Execution rigor across GOVSEC/INDSEC's operational security disciplines (OPSEC, PERSEC, and COMSEC programs), bringing cadence, tracking, and accountability to recurring and milestone-driven work these teams own and execute.
• Cadence and reporting: status, risk, and milestone communication calibrated for both engineering teams and executive/customer stakeholders.
• Capacity and roadmap planning for the GOVSEC portfolio, making trade-offs explicit and distinguishing committed work from aspirational.
• Capacity stewardship across the portfolio: maintaining a clear picture of team capacity against both planned project work and ongoing operational efforts, surfacing contention early, and enforcing the discipline that keeps commitments realistic.
• When planned and operational demands collide, you make the trade-off visible and drive it to an explicit decision by leadership rather than letting capacity be silently over-committed.

Requirements

• 8+ years of technical program or project management, with a meaningful portion in a federal, defense, or otherwise regulated environment, and a demonstrated track record of owning complex programs end-to-end at a senior level.
• Core TPM craft, demonstrated at scale: structured intake and prioritization, dependency and critical-path management, schedule and risk management, and driving programs to closure across multiple concurrent efforts.
• Technical judgment in a security context: enough fluency in federal authorization and security engineering to read the substance of the work, tell a real blocker from a soft one, and pressure-test estimates rather than taking them at face value.
• Stakeholder and communication discipline: running a reliable status/risk/milestone cadence and tailoring it for audiences from engineers to executive leadership (and, where relevant, customers).
• Experience owning delivery for teams you don't manage, where your leverage is cadence, visibility, and escalation rather than reporting lines.
• Fluency with Atlassian tooling (Jira/Confluence) for program tracking and documentation.
• Comfort operating in a matrixed structure: applying a defined program/portfolio methodology while taking day-to-day priorities from an embedded team.

Qualifications

• U.S. citizenship and eligibility to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance.
• Direct experience with higher DoD Impact Levels (IL4/IL5, and IL6 where classified), DISA STIGs, and/or FedRAMP (Moderate+).
• Exposure to industrial security (NISPOM/INDSEC) requirements and DCSA processes, and familiarity with operational security disciplines (OPSEC, PERSEC, COMSEC) in a cleared environment.
• Demonstrated ability to drive an ATO or equivalent federal authorization effort to completion, in coordination with the responsible security officers.
• Background in space systems, aerospace, or defense hardware/software delivery.
• Experience standing up or maturing program/PMO processes, not just running existing ones.
