This position requires that the candidate selected must be a US Citizen and currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.

• Identify and mitigate risks proactively by overseeing gaps between teams, processes, and system architectures, reducing exposure to common failure modes such as unclear requirements or insufficient testing

• Leverage your technical judgment to evaluate proposals, test assumptions, and make smart trade-offs between time, effort, and feature scope while partnering with engineering leaders to ensure solutions scale appropriately

• Communicate program progress and outcomes effectively through written narratives and executive presentations, building consensus when perspectives differ and escalating with good judgment when needed

• Partner with Business, Product, and Technology Leaders and teams to deliver value for our customers

A day in the life

You might start your morning reviewing program metrics and identifying areas that need attention before joining a cross-team sync to unblock a critical dependency. By midafternoon, you could be drafting a narrative that frames a key trade-off for senior leadership, then pivoting to a design review where you pressure-test architectural assumptions with engineers. You will regularly connect with stakeholders across the organization, ensuring priorities stay aligned and your program delivers meaningful results.

The Edge Connectivity Services (ECS) team is focused on building and improving the technology systems that power U3mEbZ'n operations at global scale. We value collaboration, clear communication, and a willingness to tackle hard problems together. You will work alongside engineers, product managers, and business leaders who are committed to delivering impactful solutions for our customers. We are investing in new capabilities and looking for a program leader who is excited to help shape our technical direction in the years ahead.
