Program Manager

The Leidos Corporate Home Office (CHO) Independent Research and Development (IRAD) team is looking for project/program managers (PMs) with the skills to manage various research projects, both now and in 2025.

Here’s a brief overview of what it looks like to be a CHO IRAD PM:

• Work directly with the IRAD Project Principal Investigator to initiate, plan, monitor & control, execute, and close research projects that are part of the overall CHO portfolio
• Initiate FREDD funding requests for the annual budget allocation
• Develop the requisite charge number structure and issue work authorization directives to the affected personnel
• Participate in weekly planning and execution meetings and progress/demonstration events for the Office of Technology’s Technology Integration team
• Perform period-specific financial reviews, including estimate-at-complete (EAC) updates, and other financial management functions
• Support the PI to develop and manage the project’s Prism page, Confluence page, roadmaps and deliverables trackers, and other project-specific actions
• Support the CHO IRAD Program Management Office and PM Community of Practice, which functions as a team to ensure uniform approaches and back-up support for each project

The 2024 suite of CHO IRAD projects includes the following primary areas of research and development: 1) Cyber Operations Automation, 2) Mission Ecosystems Acceleration, 3) Resilient Systems, 4) SoftwareNEXT, 5) Trusted Mission AI, and 6) Zero Trust Mission Cloud. The 2025 projects could look a little different, but many of these core elements will remain.
