Job Description
About Onebrief
Onebrief is collaboration and AI-powered workflow software designed specifically for military staffs. By transforming this work, Onebrief makes the staff as a whole superhuman - meaning faster, smarter, and more efficient.
We take ownership, seek excellence, and play to win with the seriousness and camaraderie of an Olympic team. Onebrief operates as an all-remote company, though many of our employees work alongside our customers at military commands around the world.
Founded in 2019 by a group of experienced planners, today, Onebrief’s team spans veterans from all forces and global organizations, and technologists from leading-edge software companies. We’ve raised $320m+ from top-tier investors, including Battery Ventures, General Catalyst, Sapphire Ventures, Insight Partners, and Human Capital, and today, Onebrief is valued at $2.15B. With this continued growth, Onebrief is able to make an impact where it matters most.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Technical Program Manager to lead the engineering integration of acquired software companies across infrastructure, security, and product engineering. You will build and execute plans, align stakeholders, and turn wholly independent technologies into a rationalized and unified solution. A key focus area is creating clarity and translating technical blockers into clear, prioritized engineering work.
About You
The ideal candidate is a motivated problem solver with a high degree of ownership. You have a strong understanding of cloud-native software systems and software development processes. You understand how software engineering and platform engineering teams partner to build and deploy great products and put them onto restricted networks.
More than technical expertise, you’re a strong communicator who creates clarity and can translate technical challenges into goals and risks that deliver measurable business outcomes.
What You’ll Do
Program Delivery & Ownership
Own end‑to‑end delivery for 2–3 concurrent programs from scoping through rollout and sustainment.
Stand up program structures: objectives, scope, milestones, RACI, and success metrics.
Build integrated roadmaps, surface dependencies/critical paths, and run effective rituals (kickoffs, weekly syncs, risk reviews, demos, PIRs).
Maintain decision logs and drive trade‑off calls to resolution.
Cross‑Functional & External Coordination
Coordinate across Infrastructure & Security, Product & Design, and Engineering to align upstream requirements with executable plans.
Provide concise, data‑backed status to leadership and customers; tailor communication to technical and non‑technical audiences.
Risk, Quality, and Continuous Improvement
Proactively identify and mitigate risks (e.g., ATO/authorization bottlenecks, resource constraints, operational handoffs).
Ensure delivery quality and compliance artifacts are complete and audit‑ready (e.g., STIGs, SBOMs, SSP updates).
Lead blameless retrospectives and convert learnings into templates, playbooks, and tooling improvements.
What We Look For
4–7 years in technical program or project management within a modern software environment (SaaS, cloud, or platform/infrastructure).
Demonstrated delivery across multiple teams/services with clear outcomes and predictability.
Technical fluency: able to discuss cloud architecture (AWS; GovCloud familiarity a plus), Kubernetes/containers, CI/CD, observability, and secure deployment practices.
Experience operationalizing security/compliance work (POA&Ms, remediation programs) and partnering closely with security, infra, and product engineering.
Excellent written and verbal communication; executive‑ready status reporting and strong meeting facilitation.
Proficiency with delivery tooling and documentation (e.g., Linear, Notion) and comfort building lightweight dashboards/metrics.
Nice to Have
Exposure to DoD/government accreditation processes (FedRAMP, NIST RMF) and zero‑trust concepts.
Hands‑on background in software/DevOps/systems, or scripting for automation.
Certifications (e.g., PMP, PgMP, Agile PM/ACP, SAFe) or equivalent experience.
Ability to operate with external stakeholders (e.g., DISA/COCOMs, cloud vendors).
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. DoD security clearance for certain programs (existing Secret or higher is a plus).
What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)
30 days: You’ve mapped active programs, stakeholders, and systems; established a baseline delivery dashboard for one program.
60 days: You’re leading execution for 1–2 initiatives, driving risk/issue resolution and predictable milestone delivery.
90 days: You’ve delivered a meaningful milestone or launch, closed or de‑risked several POA&M items, and published a reusable program playbook or template.
How We Work
Bias for clarity, transparency, and asynchronous communication.
Outcome‑oriented planning with lightweight, fit‑for‑purpose process.
Pragmatic risk management and data‑informed decisions.
Respectful debate; commit once decisions are made.
