The Work

The Cloud Program Manager is a senior-level contributor and executive responsible for driving large-scale modernization and cloud transformation initiatives across complex enterprise ecosystems. This role is designed for an experienced professional who has led or significantly contributed to large programs and brings expertise in at least two of the following three towers: Cloud, SAP, and SOC implementations.

Operating at the intersection of business analysis, enterprise architecture, and delivery execution, you will analyze current-state systems, document dependencies, define future-state capabilities, and enable structured migration and modernization planning. The role demands a high degree of leadership, cross-functional coordination, architectural awareness, and the ability to operate in secure environments.

This position is ideal for a senior, analytical, detail-driven professional who thrives in complex technical programs, collaborates naturally with architects and engineers, and can influence and drive outcomes across multiple modernization workstreams.

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture & Systems Analysis:

Document current-state architectures including applications, integrations, data flows, dependencies, and technical constraints.

Translate business objectives into functional and technical requirements aligned with architecture principles.

Support definition of future-state architecture, capability models, and transition roadmaps.

Validate technical designs against architecture standards, patterns, and guardrails.

Cloud Migration & Modernization Support:

Evaluate and support migration strategies using the Seven Rs (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain).

Document OS/platform needs, database considerations, APIs, integration points, configuration dependencies, and readiness criteria.

Contribute to wave planning, sequencing, and prioritization based on risk, dependencies, and complexity.

Maintain accurate migration inventories and readiness artifacts.

Data & Integration Analysis:

Document data flows, lineage, and cross-system data dependencies.

Identify data migration constraints and integration considerations.

Ensure alignment with target architecture patterns including API-driven, event-driven, and batch integrations.

Agile Delivery & Program Execution:

Create well-defined user stories, acceptance criteria, and backlog items aligned with architecture and migration objectives.

Participate in Agile ceremonies (planning, refinement, standups, PI planning).

Conduct dependency and impact analysis for shifting priorities or scope changes.

Support coordinated release execution across multiple technical teams.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Collaboration:

Serve as a senior bridge between business owners, architects, engineering teams, and value-stream leads.

Drive cross-team alignment across cloud modernization workstreams.

Facilitate workshops, requirement sessions, and complex dependency discussions.

Influence architectural and operational decisions across large program areas.

Documentation & Governance:

Produce dependency maps, architecture diagrams, migration plans, inventories, and structured documentation.

Maintain CMDB or equivalent system-of-record documentation.

Support architecture governance processes with clear, actionable analysis.

Here’s What You Need:

11 plus years of experience

Experience driving and managing Cloud Modernizations projects within the federal space

Experience in at least one of the following towers: SAP, SOC, Azure implementations.

Strong understanding of application architecture, integration patterns, and dependency mapping.

Demonstrated ability to document current-state and future-state processes and system behaviors.

Agile delivery experience (user stories, backlog refinement, PI planning).

Bonus Points if You Have:

Hands-on experience with Azure, AWS, or GCP cloud architectures.
Understanding of security & compliance frameworks (RMF, JSIG, STIGs).
Experience with Jira, Confluence, CMDB/APM tools, or architecture modeling tools.

Eligibility Requirement:

Must hold an Active Secret clearance
Must be a US Citizen Only (No Dual Citizenship, No Green Card Holder)
