Job Description

Are You Ready to Build the Future?

Do you believe that powerful science and technology can solve the nation’s toughest challenges?

Are you an entrepreneurial leader who thrives on both delivering excellence and driving strategic growth?

@Orchard LLC , a dynamic Woman-Owned Small Business, is providing critical consulting services to the Federal Government. We are looking for a Program Manager to not only guide one of our most important federal science contracts but also to build the growth engine that will power our future.

This isn’t just another program management role. This is a chance to be a central pillar in a growing organization, someone who will shape our delivery systems, win new business, and leave a lasting mark on our company and the clients we serve. If you’re ready to move beyond managing the status quo and start building what’s next, we want to hear from you.

Your Impact as a Program Manager and Growth Agent

Lead World-Class Program Delivery on a key scientific (GIS) program for a major Federal Agency.

You will be the trusted leader of a high-priority federal science and geospatial services contract, ensuring our team delivers with precision and passion.

  • Forge Client Partnerships: Serve as the face of @Orchard to our federal client, building deep, collaborative relationships founded on trust and mission alignment.
  • Inspire Your Team: Direct and mentor a multidisciplinary team of ~20 experts (including subcontractors), foster a culture of excellence, and ensure every project milestone is met on time and on budget.
  • Architect the Systems of Success: Wield your expertise in Smartsheet and modern PM practices to build and manage the dashboards, performance trackers, and reporting frameworks that guarantee quality and transparency across the program.

Drive Our Strategic Growth Engine

You will be the architect of our expansion, transforming our business development posture from reactive to strategic and scalable.

  • Build the Growth Playbook: Craft and execute a forward-looking business development strategy, monetizing key contract vehicles like 8(a) STARS III, IDIQ Prime contracts, and GSA MAS to expand our federal footprint.
  • Win the Work: Play a pivotal role in our proposal process—from identifying and capturing strategic opportunities to lending your SME-level writing and review to create winning bids.
  • Mature Our Capabilities: Use your expertise and tools like GovWin to build a structured, repeatable opportunity lifecycle, helping mature the systems that will support our growth for years to come.

What You Bring to the Mission

We are looking for a leader with a proven ability to operate with initiative, flexibility, and accountability.

Required Qualifications:

  • A proven track record (7+ years ) of successfully managing programs or projects in federal science, IT, or engineering domains (experience with NOAA, NASA, or DoD is a major plus).
  • Demonstrated success leading multidisciplinary government delivery teams and navigating complex project reporting environments.
  • Deep, hands-on knowledge of Smartsheet , dashboarding tools, and performance reporting best practices.
  • Experience contributing to winning proposals and developing teaming strategies in the federal contracting space.
  • A Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.
  • PMP certification is strongly preferred.

Your Mindset:

  • Entrepreneurial Spirit: You see challenges as opportunities and are driven to find innovative solutions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Builder’s Mentality: You’re not just here to run the playbook; you're here to write it, constantly improving our tools, processes, and deliverables.
  • Mission-Focused: You instinctively connect day-to-day tasks to the client's larger mission, ensuring your team’s work has a meaningful impact.
  • Growth-Oriented: You are passionate about contributing to a scaling company, actively helping to grow both our internal systems and our federal portfolio.

If you meet the requirements for this opportunity and believe you have the experience and talent to succeed in the role, we would like to hear from you.

Established in 2010, @Orchard LLC has an exceptional reputation, providing staffing solutions to time-sensitive, talent scarcity issues to deliver better talent management ROI. Our specialty lies in the critical area of program talent acquisition and resource management, not in one narrow skillset, but across many areas of technical and functional delivery.
