Job Description

Accenture Federal Services is looking for a Program Delivery Lead to champion end-to-end delivery of secure cloud platform capabilities for the program. This role owns program execution, client relationships, and delivery outcomes — serving as the primary interface between government stakeholders and a delivery team of engineers, architects, and agile practitioners. You'll shape delivery processes, establish governance rhythms, and grow the program as mission demand expands, combining program management discipline with a consultative, relationship-first approach.

What You'll Own

  • Program delivery from planning through execution — scope, schedule, staffing, risk, and financial performance
  • The client relationship with government program leadership, including status reporting, program reviews, and contract deliverable management
  • Delivery standards — quality gates, documentation discipline, and audit-ready compliance artifacts
  • Cross-functional delivery teams operating in a SAFe Lean-Agile model
  • Team member development, through clear expectations and structured feedback that helps people grow into greater ownership
  • Program growth — translating emerging mission needs into scoped, executable work

What You'll Deliver

  • Commitments that land on time, or get surfaced early enough for the customer to act on the risk
  • Documented delivery standards and audit-ready compliance artifacts that hold up under government review
  • Accurate program reporting — status, financials, and reviews delivered to government stakeholders on schedule
  • A delivery team operating effectively within SAFe Lean-Agile practices
  • Scoped growth opportunities that translate mission need into executable work

Here's What You Need

  • 7+ years of program/project management experience, including 3+ years in federal contracting environments
  • Demonstrated experience leading agile software or cloud delivery teams (SAFe, Scrum, or equivalent)
  • Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure delivery, DevSecOps practices, and federal security frameworks (NIST RMF, STIG, ATO) at a program management level
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent experience in lieu of degree
  • PMP or SAFe certification, or ability to obtain one within 6 months of hire

Bonus Points If You Have

  • Experience delivering in highly regulated, security-sensitive government environments
  • Experience growing a program from initial award through expansion
  • Familiarity with MBSE (model-based systems engineering) and earned value management
  • Experience operating in classified or multi-network government environments

Security Requirements

  • Active TS clearance required; SCI preferred
