Description:
Alaska Northstar Federal is looking for a Project Manager to join the team on a long-term project to be awarded soon.
The Project Manager will serve as part of a dynamic, multi-project manager team (“web of PMs”) overseeing concurrent workstreams within a complex, large-scale federal program hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The Project Manager will coordinate with peers, government stakeholders, and cross-functional technical teams, with specific responsibility to support a designated subcontractor who serves as the key subject matter experts (SMEs) for this engagement. The PM will ensure cohesion, compliance, milestone achievement, and optimum program outcomes through collaboration, risk management, and a customer-focused approach.

CANDIDATE MUST HAVE AT LEAST 5 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE FOLLOWING:

• Project management experience on federal or DoD programs of significant size and complexity, preferably with cloud, application, cyber, or technical infrastructure components.
• Demonstrated success operating within a multi-PM environment and cross-company/subcontractor teaming models.
• Track record supporting external SMEs and integrating subcontractor technical contributions into total program delivery.
• Proficiency with project management frameworks, tools, and methodologies (e.g., PMI/PMP, Agile, Microsoft Project, Jira) and familiarity with federal acquisition/program management documentation requirements.
• Knowledge of government contract compliance, earned value management, and risk/change management.
• Strong written and verbal communication, stakeholder management, and facilitation skills.
