Company Description

Dcode is a team of doers dedicated to bridging the gap between the speed of technology and the federal government. We align people, culture, policies, and processes to get tech in the hands of those who need it most. Operating at the nexus of government leaders, emerging tech companies, and venture capital, we turn roadblocks into results.

Job Description

Dcode is looking for a passionate Program Manager to help deliver high-impact programs that improve how our defense sector client identifies needs, finds the right solutions, and puts them into the hands of users quickly. You’ll manage projects from kickoff to delivery, coordinate resources (including our highly experienced Dcode Field Experts), and work directly with senior government leaders to ensure results.

You’ll help refine and run the structures, processes, and workflows that allow our teams to move from problem to solution efficiently—applying agile principles, contributing to user experience (UX) design, and identifying opportunities for automation. One day you might be planning an iterative delivery sprint and the next facilitating a stakeholder workshop. It’s fast-paced, meaningful work for someone who thrives on making things happen.

Salary range: $93,000-$125,000 plus bi-annual bonuses

Secret or Top Secret level security clearance preferred. Security clearance eligibility required.
