Your ability to build trusted relationships across the company, and drive alignment across diverse stakeholders will be central to your success.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Serve as the financial project manager for a strategic and active U.S. Government contract, owning the program budgets, financial tracking, and adherence to the company financial policies.

• Experience managing programs within the commercial technology or semiconductor industry.
• Demonstrated experience working with large, cross-functional programs in a matrixed environment, including the ability to influence, align, and drive execution across teams that do not report directly to you.
• Experience managing multiple programs concurrently, with the ability to prioritize and shift focus across efforts of varying size and complexity.
• Strong working knowledge of U.S. Government contracting regulations (FAR/DFARS), contract types (FFP, CPFF, OTA, etc.), and compliance requirements.
• Ability and willingness to obtain Active U.S. Government security clearance required.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to operate effectively from the working level up to executive leadership and government customers.
