Job Requisition:Staff Project Manager

Job Description:

Leidos is looking to improve and advance our organization. Our program is focused on the delivery of data center services to our CMS customers and is structured around both current and legacy platforms in a consumption-based services model.  We are looking to add skilled, energetic leaders and technologists who believe in cross functional teams, exhibit broad-based skills, maintain a customer-focused mindset, and have a willingness to step out of their work stream to get the job done.

With a “no downtime, zero outages” vision and mantra, we support a range of data center needs ranging from self-service to white-glove services, all of which are based on our customer’s required level of support.  Our organization is comprised of a team supporting PMO, Security, Quality, Intake, Service Delivery, Engineering, and Service Operations.  These teams access resources from our functional teams supporting Network, Security, Firewall, z/OS and z/VM operations, Unix Operations, Change Management, Monitoring, Capacity Management, x86 Operations, and Storage Operations.  Part of everyone’s responsibility is to help drive the new consumption-based services model.

Now to you – your mission, if you choose to accept it as a Project Manager, will require you to coordinate closely with senior leadership to interpret and effectively communicate program needs, interact w/service delivery engineers and customer personnel. As a part of the Project and Service Delivery organization the project teams you lead will provide enterprise engineering expertise, tap appropriate technical SMEs when required, interact with contract management, and establish effective, bi-directional, collaborative communication within our Program Team.  Ultimately, these activities will be extended in communication to the customer.  You will interact daily with technical resources which are fulfilling technical requirements for the customer.  Your goal will be to work with all stakeholders to help Leidos ensure delivery of high-quality, robust and scalable solutions with minimal business impact.
