Program Management Specialist, Senior

The Opportunity:  

As a program management specialist, you know the complexities of supporting a project from concept to completion.

That’s why we need you, an experienced program management specialist who can help ensure success through careful analysis and effective communication.

You’ll work with key stakeholders to review risks, assist in the management of contracts, and track project costs.

The real impact of project management comes from communication to ensure the program achieves its goals and meets our quality standards. At Booz Allen, we recognize that we must continuously grow as a team to bring the best support to our clients, so here you’ll have all the resources to succeed. This is a chance to influence a meaningful mission while learning how to develop and maintain program strategy. 

This is accomplished by listening to and understanding complex technical discussions and anticipating points of disconnect. You will serve as the essential link that translates complex technical exchanges into clear project milestones to advance strategic goals.
