Job description
Program Manager:

The program manager provides leadership and overall management of an assigned technical or operational portfolio, which may be large or small in total budget and may encompass one or more discrete programs. The program manager brokers with customers and individual researchers or research groups/programs to determine what work will be done to meet the customers’ needs, general timeframes, and funding requirements. The program manager is expected to develop working relationships that span existing internal and/or external institutional missions and extend into new opportunities as policies, missions, and opportunities evolve. Programs are a complex set of related activities needed to produce products or services over time to meet customer requirements within a given mission area. Programs are often ongoing over multiple years and evolve in response to the customers changing needs. The customer may be an external body, such as a federal agency, or may be an internal organization within the
Laboratory.

Position requires advanced knowledge of and successfully demonstrated experience in all aspects of program management of technical or operational work, including defining program work scope, schedules, budgets, priorities, and performance milestones; developing cost, scope, and schedule baselines; reporting cost and schedule variance; and managing change control and risk. Advanced knowledge of the technical or operational discipline of the assigned portfolio(s). Advanced knowledge of regulatory and Laboratory requirements related to programmatic work of assigned portfolio(s). Successfully demonstrated experience in developing and nurturing effective internal and/or external customer relationships. Successfully demonstrated experience in interacting effectively with all levels of internal and/or external personnel; building trust, gaining consensus, and resolving conflicts. Excellent oral and written communication and presentation skills.

In this role, you will:

* Support project scheduling using Primavera P6, including data quality checks, integration tasks, and schedule analysis.

* Support project cost management using Cobra and EVMS processes.

* Write and optimize PSQL and TSQL queries to extract and integrate data from multiple enterprise systems.

* Serve as a SQL Server DBA resource, providing database configuration, maintenance, and performance tuning.

* Develop automated tools using Excel, VBA, Power Query, and Power Pivot.

* Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models for project and executive audiences.

* Anticipate customer needs by observing workflows, identifying pain points, and proactively developing solutions.

* Deliver high-quality tools and reports with minimal oversight, often defining requirements through your own analysis and initiative.

* Collaborate with stakeholders across technical and business domains to align solutions with project objectives.

Position requires a bachelor’s degree and 8 years of related management experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. At this level, post graduate course work may be desirable.

Additional qualifications:

* Hands-on experience with Primavera P6, Cobra, and EVMS processes.

* Strong SQL skills, including proficiency in PSQL/TSQL and working with system databases.

* Experience with SQL Server administration (DBA tasks, maintenance, optimization).

* Advanced proficiency in Excel, including VBA, Power Query, and Power Pivot.

* Experience building data models and dashboards in Power BI.

* Exceptional ability to translate ambiguous or unspoken needs into actionable, effective solutions.

* Demonstrated initiative and independence—able to take a concept from idea to delivered product without heavy direction.

* Strong communication skills across both technical and business contexts.

* Experience in project controls within DOE/NNSA.

* Familiarity with data integration and ETL workflows across enterprise systems.

* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a continuous-improvement mindset.
