Job description

Savan is seeking an IT Portfolio Management & Governance Project Manager to support the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). The Project Manager will provide overall leadership, coordination, and quality oversight for a team supporting DOT IT portfolio management, IT governance, strategic planning, program and project management, IT financial management, and related communications and documentation activities. This individual will serve as the primary point of contact for the Government customer, work closely with DOT stakeholders, and ensure that project activities, deliverables, and resources remain aligned with customer priorities.
The successful candidate will bring strong federal CIO-support experience and the ability to manage complex workstreams, translate technical and financial information into actionable recommendations, and communicate effectively with executive leaders and diverse stakeholders. The Project Manager will be a proactive, dependable leader who can manage competing priorities, anticipate customer needs, and drive high-quality results with limited direction.
Position Summary
Role Responsibilities:
  • Serve as the primary contractor point of contact for DOT stakeholders and provide overall leadership for the project team.
  • Lead project planning, coordination, staffing, work scheduling, quality assurance, risk management, and delivery oversight.
  • Manage and integrate activities across IT portfolio management, governance, strategic planning, program and project management, financial management, communications, and documentation workstreams.
  • Support DOT IT portfolio-management and governance processes, including investment analysis, strategic planning, performance reporting, risk management, and executive decision support.
  • Oversee the preparation of project plans, accomplishment reports, status updates, briefings, dashboards, recommendations, and other management deliverables.
  • Facilitate meetings and stakeholder engagements; prepare agendas, briefing materials, meeting minutes, action-item trackers, and follow-up communications.
  • Provide executive-level analysis and recommendations on portfolio performance, governance processes, IT investments, risks, financial considerations, and improvement opportunities.
  • Support the development, review, and maintenance of governance policies, procedures, templates, process documentation, and other program-management artifacts.
  • Coordinate with Government stakeholders, contractor personnel, and task leads to ensure deliverables are timely, accurate, complete, and responsive to DOT priorities.
  • Identify delivery risks, issues, and dependencies; recommend practical mitigation actions and escalate matters as appropriate.
  • Lead and mentor project personnel, promote collaboration across workstreams, and maintain a high standard of client service and professionalism.
  • Present project updates, findings, emerging issues, and strategic recommendations to DOT leadership and stakeholder groups.
  • Support implementation of applicable federal IT management requirements, policies, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Create management dashboards to communicate, display, and track system owners' progress in achieving the project goals
Qualifications and Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in business, public administration, information systems, finance, economics, project management, or a related field.
  • At least 10 years of professional experience supporting federal IT organizations, CIO offices, IT portfolio management, governance, program management, or related functions.
  • At least 8 years of experience in federal IT portfolio management, CPIC, IT governance, strategic planning, IT financial management, or program and project management.
  • Demonstrated experience serving in a project-management, program-management, or workstream-lead role supporting federal clients.
  • Experience leading teams, managing project schedules and deliverables, addressing risks and issues, and maintaining productive Government stakeholder relationships.
  • Experience supporting IT investment management, portfolio analysis, governance processes, performance reporting, strategic planning, or financial management activities.
  • Ability to analyze complex technical, operational, financial, and programmatic information and develop practical recommendations for leadership.
  • Experience preparing executive briefings, presentations, status reports, dashboards, correspondence, and other client-facing deliverables.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, facilitation, and decision-making skills.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including executive writing and editing.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace tools.
  • U.S. Citizenship.

  • Experience supporting DOT, a federal civilian agency CIO organization, or a comparably complex federal IT environment.
  • Experience with federal IT investment management, CPIC, governance, IT financial management, strategic planning, or IT risk-management programs.
  • Experience supporting executive governance forums, portfolio reviews, leadership briefings, or senior stakeholder meetings.
  • Experience developing or improving governance processes, policies, standard operating procedures, templates, training materials, or documentation repositories.
