About the Role:

  • Rackner is seeking an experienced Program Manager to support a Department of Defense health mission. This role is designed for a senior-level professional who brings structure, judgment, and executive presence to complex programs and is comfortable partnering directly with internal leadership and government clients.
  • This is not a technical delivery role. Instead, it focuses on program leadership, stakeholder alignment, governance, and execution within a technical and mission-driven environment. The ideal candidate acts as a steady point of integration between Rackner leadership, client stakeholders, and delivery teams.

What You’ll Do:

  • You will lead program execution for a federal health portfolio, ensuring clarity, alignment, and accountability across stakeholders. You will serve as a trusted partner to executive leadership, helping translate strategy into executable plans while maintaining strong relationships with client counterparts.
  • You will oversee program governance, manage schedules and priorities, track risks and dependencies, and ensure consistent communication across teams. You will support decision-making by providing clear insights into program health, tradeoffs, and outcomes. You will also help establish and reinforce operating rhythms that support predictable delivery in a regulated environment.
  • This role requires comfort operating at both the strategic and execution levels, particularly in settings where expectations are high, timelines matter, and communication must be clear and measured

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, IT, or related field
  • Extensive experience leading programs in federal, defense, or regulated environments
  • Demonstrated ability to partner directly with executives, senior government stakeholders, and client leadership
  • Strong judgment, communication, and organizational skills
  • Experience managing governance, schedules, risks, and stakeholder expectations
  • Comfort operating in a technical or delivery-focused environment without being hands-on technical
  • Ability to bring calm, clarity, and structure to complex or evolving programs

Nice-to-Have:

  • Master’s degree preferred for Senior/Expert roles
  • PgMP/PMP preferred for Journeyman+, PgMP strongly preferred for Senior/Expert
  • Supporting DHA, HHS, VA, NIH, CDC, or federal health programs
  • Experience in cloud, DevSecOps, cybersecurity, or agile delivery environments
  • Managed cross-functional, geographically distributed teams to deliver digital programs with rapid innovation cycles.

About Rackner:

  • Rackner is a cloud-native software consultancy delivering solutions for startups, enterprises, and the public sector.
  • We enable digital transformation through DevSecOps, AI/ML, and cloud-first innovation.
  • Our teams solve high-impact problems that advance federal missions and strengthen national readiness. Join us to help shape the future of secure, scalable data systems supporting mission success.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

  • Weekly Pay and Full Remote Flexibility.
  • Professional Growth through paid certifications and training.
  • Comprehensive Benefits including 401(k) with 100% match up to 6%, PTO, medical/dental/vision, life & disability insurance.
  • Home office equipment plan and supportive, inclusive team culture with mission impact.

Next Steps:

  • If you’re interested in contributing to high-impact health programs and supporting cross-functional delivery, we’d love to hear from you.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
