Federal Hr Contractor Jobs in Reston, VA (NOW HIRING)

Program Manager

Intelligence Federal is a fast-growing government contracting company specializing in professional staffing and consulting services for federal agencies nationwide. We are seeking a Junior Program Manager to help drive excellence across our portfolio of federal contracts, ensuring high-quality performance, compliance, and successful customer outcomes.

This is not a contract-specific position. Instead, you will play a key role at our corporate headquarters, supporting multiple programs and working closely with teams across the organization. If you're looking for a position that combines leadership, operations, recruiting, business strategy, and client support, this is the opportunity for you.

At Intelligence Federal, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. Our team members wear many hats and thrive in a dynamic environment where flexibility and initiative are valued. One day, you may be partnering with Accounting to review contract financials, onboarding new employees alongside HR, or supporting Operations with client deliverables. The next, you could be helping recruit key personnel for a proposal, assisting Business Development efforts, or contributing to the company's social media and branding initiatives.

We're looking for someone who is resourceful, adaptable, and eager to learn. The ideal candidate is a problem-solver with a positive, can-do attitude who enjoys taking ownership, building relationships, and jumping in wherever needed to help the team succeed. If you're excited by variety, motivated by growth, and ready to make a meaningful impact within a rapidly expanding company, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a full-time opportunity and eligible for benefits through Intelligence Federal. Our company was named one of the Best Places to Work in 2024 by the Washington Business Journal.
