Sr. Manager, Federal Programs

At MyFitnessPal, we believe good health starts with what you eat. We provide tools, resources and support to enable users to reach their health goals.

About the role

As the Sr. Manager, Federal Programs, you'll lead the MyFitnessPal business unit working alongside a major systems integrator (the Prime) to support initiatives for the U.S. federal government. You will build strong partnerships with our prime contractor, government program stakeholders, and cross-functional leaders across MyFitnessPal's product, engineering, security, and legal teams. Your leadership skills and command of federal security and compliance will allow MyFitnessPal to deliver on initiatives inside a government program.

This role is part of the Technology Operations (TechOps) organization, which includes IT, Infrastructure, Security, Site Reliability Engineering, and DevOps/DevEx disciplines.

This is a U.S.-based, remote role and requires eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.
