Technical Program Manager, Lead

Technical Program Manager, Lead Location: Arlington, VA Technical Program Manager, Lead The Opportunity: Booz Allen is seeking a Program Manager to support a large-scale modernization effort focused on legacy HR and personnel applications. In this role, you will serve as the senior customer-facing delivery lead for a complex, high-visibility program that is modernizing a fragmented portfolio of legacy systems into a more secure, sustainable, and supportable target environment. This program is primarily focused on Salesforce, Public Sector Solutions, and Omnistudio, but it also requires leadership across adjacent platforms, enterprise services, and legacy environments, including ServiceNow, OutSystems, MuleSoft, and other connected systems. You will lead delivery across application refactoring and modernization, DevSecOps, human-centered discovery, enterprise integration and API development, and governed data migration and validation. You will own customer coordination, staffing, schedule, risks, dependencies, reporting, release readiness, and cross-workstream execution. You will work across business, product, engineering, architecture, integration, data, cybersecurity, and DevSecOps teams to translate modernization priorities and technical blueprints into executable delivery plans and sustained program performance. The ideal candidate brings deep experience leading large-scale Salesforce modernization programs and enough Salesforce platform fluency to manage technical tradeoffs, challenge weak execution, maintain customer confidence, and drive decisions to closure. This is not a generic administrative program manager role. It requires a senior leader who can manage a high-visibility client environment, lead a cross-functional team, and keep a technically complex modernization effort moving. What You'll Work On: Lead delivery of a large-scale modernization effort focused on legacy HR and personnel applications across Salesforce, Public Sector Solutions, OmniStudio, and adjacent enterprise services. Own program execution across staffing, schedule, risks, dependencies, reporting, release readiness, and cross-workstream coordination. Manage relationships with senior client stakeholders, delivery leads, and governance bodies, including escalations, decision-making, and executive reporting. Coordinate delivery across application modernization, DevSecOps, discovery, enterprise integration and APIs, and data migration and validation. Partner with solution architecture and technical leads to translate modernization priorities and technical blueprints into executable delivery plans, release plans, and staffing approaches. Ensure delivery discipline across quality, security, auditability, and sustainment in coordination with engineering, cybersecurity, integration, data, and DevSecOps teams. Join us.
