Remote Wellness Program Manager Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Aleknagik Technology, LLC is an 8(a) company that delivers professional, scientific, and technical services and information technology (IT) solutions to federal agencies in life & physical sciences, infrastructure, system & network integration, technology, and other government services. ATL, an Alaskan Native Corporation (ANC), is committed to serving Federal customers while also giving back to the Aleknagik native community and shareholders.

ATL is seeking a hands-on, results-driven Senior Program Manager to lead a portfolio of federal programs across the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and federal civilian markets. This position is accountable for three primary outcomes:

1. Cost: Accurate estimating, disciplined cost management, reliable forecasting, and achievement of program financial objectives.
2. Performance: Successful contract execution, strong CPARS ratings, high customer satisfaction, effective communication, and accountability for results.
3. Business Development: Organic growth within existing accounts, strong customer relationships, and identification of adjacent opportunities.

The Senior Program Manager will manage programs operating under multiple contract vehicles (IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, Stand Alone Contracts, etc) and contract types (Firm-Fixed-Price, Time-and-Materials/Labor-Hour, and cost-reimbursement). The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of federal project economics and be able to build bottom-up cost estimates, manage program budgets, forecast program performance, and take corrective action when financial or operational results deviate from plan.

This individual will serve as a trusted advisor to customers, provide leadership and direction to project and program managers, and work closely with ATL's finance, contracts, operations, capture, and business development teams.

This can be a remote position in any existing and/or potential Federal customer location, with the potential travel of approximately 10% to 45%.
