Division Program Manager

The Division Lead (DL) works directly with the government’s Division Chief in support of Division functions and priorities. This position leads a CT-IP A&AS Division team working in support of assigned country, region, and other portfolios in the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Directorate’s Indo-Pacific CBRN Engagement Department (CT-IP).  

The Indo-Pacific Department (CT-IP) enables the Department of Defense (DoD) to work cooperatively with international and interagency partners to reduce or eliminate the threat of the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) or WMD-related materials in the Indo-Pacific AOR. CTR also facilitates the detection and reporting of diseases that could be used as an early warning mechanism for disease outbreaks that could affect the Armed Forces of the United States (U.S.) or its allies, regardless of the source of such diseases. To accomplish this, CTRconducts several lines of effort including portions of the Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP), the Proliferation Prevention Program (PPP), Global Nuclear Security (GNS), Chemical Security and Elimination (CSE), and Delivery System Threat Reduction (DSTR).

The CT-IP A&AS Division Lead is primarily a project management role that requires implementation and oversight of DoD acquisition strategies to carry out international threat reduction activities.

The CT-IP A&AS team advises and assists CTR-IP in executing the mission. The team supports two Division Chiefs, country Program Managers, a Science Manager, and other government personnel in requirement development and validation. The PM Team supports management and execution of projects including initiation; acquisition strategies/plans development; budget, schedule, and performance management; project monitoring and closeout; and all-encompassing internal and external required reporting. CT-IP A&AS team members work in lockstep with the government counterparts to establish and maintain rhythm and rigor required for productive coordination and communication, quality assurance, and knowledge management, consistently applying the Integrated Project Team (IPT) concept.

The CT-IP A&AS Division Lead is responsible for ensuring all deliverables across the Division-meet quality and schedule requirements. She/he leads a broad range of activities, including Division-level planning; managing and utilizing staff resources to ensure team success; and supporting government counterparts. This is primarily a project management role that requires financial and schedule management; quality assurance; knowledge management; and strong leadership, communication, collaboration/coordination skillsets. This role requires knowledge and understanding of the CTR mission, nature of threats and threat reduction approaches, the international nonproliferation regime, and key stakeholders working in the domains of nonproliferation and global security.

The role requires strong analytical skills, ability to see the bigger picture without losing sight of detail, and readiness/ability to track formal and informal taskers while delivering necessary advisory and assistance services in support of multiple, competing priorities. The Division Lead is expected to partner with client Division leadership – as well as other government and A&AS counterparts contributing to implementation of Division priorities – and be a reliable source of advice and assistance.

CT-IP A&AS Division Leads report to the CT-IP A&AS Department Lead. Their primary government client interface is the CTR-IP Division Chief.

• Bachelors (B.A. or B.S.) Degree with 8+ years of project management, government acquisition or similar experience
