LMI is seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead integrated delivery for a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) engagement focused on modernizing work management and program execution through Atlassian Jira, maturing Agile ways of working, establishing a Program Value Office (PVO), and strengthening stakeholder engagement and adoption.

The TPM will be LMI’s primary day-to-day delivery leader, accountable for coordinating multiple interconnected workstreams, managing the integrated program baseline, and ensuring that teams deliver quality outcomes aligned to VA priorities and contractual commitments. This is an execution and technical-delivery leadership role, not an expectation that one person will personally conduct Agile coaching, configure Jira, or build every PVO artifact.

The successful candidate will exercise independent judgment across multiple lines of effort, translate stakeholder needs into actionable plans, lead technical and functional delivery teams, and proactively manage schedule, financial health, delivery risks, dependencies, subcontractors, and opportunities to improve customer outcomes. The position works with LMI account and market leadership on client relationships, staffing, and responsible organic growth.
