Role summary
VivSoft is seeking a DLA Account Lead / Senior Program Manager to oversee the success and health of its Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) portfolio. This role focuses on account leadership, ensuring delivery performance and customer satisfaction across multiple federal contracts, while also supporting growth initiatives. The position requires a trusted senior-level relationship owner with DLA stakeholders, responsible for identifying and resolving risks, mentoring individual PMs, and maintaining strong partner relationships. A portion of the role involves direct billable delivery as a named PM on a home contract. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated DLA experience, PMP certification, and a strong understanding of federal acquisition and proposal support.
- Own overall delivery health and customer satisfaction across the DLA portfolio, staying close enough to each effort to know its status without personally running day-to-day execution on every contract.
- Serve as a senior, trusted point of contact for DLA stakeholders, CORs, and Contracting Officers, complementing the individual PMs or leads who run day-to-day delivery on each contract.
- Identify and resolve risk across the portfolio early, escalating and coordinating corrective action where needed.
- Maintain strong relationships with joint venture partners to ensure aligned, cooperative delivery across shared efforts.
- Mentor and support the PMs and delivery leads running individual DLA contracts.
- Serve as the named PM or TOPM on one home contract within the DLA portfolio, maintaining approximately 50% personal billable utilization, with the remaining ~50% dedicated to account leadership and growth activities.
- Partner closely with the Growth team on DLA pursuits. On most task order responses, capture is led by Growth or a joint venture partner; in these cases, the Account Lead supports with customer intel, solutioning, relationship context, and proposal input, reviewing or writing the sections for the account they own.
- Lead organic growth on the DLA account, including scope expansions, emerging needs, recompetes/follow-ons, and opportunities where the Account Lead is directly shaping a solution with the customer, surfaced through day-to-day account relationships and led by the Account Lead with Growth in support.
- Provide past/current performance narratives and account-specific proposal content for DLA pursuits.
- Must hold an active Secret clearance at the time of application.
- Active Project Management Professional (PMP) certification.
- Demonstrated DLA experience, including an understanding of DLA's mission, organization, acquisition environment, and key stakeholders across the agency.
- Proven experience leading delivery across multiple federal contracts or task orders, with accountability for customer satisfaction and past performance.
- Experience serving as a senior point of contact for government stakeholders, CORs, and Contracting Officers.
- Experience supporting capture and proposal efforts, including customer intel, solutioning, and writing or reviewing proposal content.
- Strong leadership, mentoring, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively with joint venture partners.
- Prior experience supporting DLA directly, as a government employee or contractor.
- Familiarity with the DLA JETS 2.0 contract vehicle and DLA's enterprise IT, modernization, and mission-support environment.
- CPARS/past performance ratings of "Good" or higher across the DLA portfolio.
- Customer (COR/KO) satisfaction and strength of relationships across DLA stakeholders.
- Frequency and cadence of on-site customer visits and engagement across DLA sites and stakeholders.
- Personal utilization against target on the home contract.
- Win rate on pursuits supported, and Growth/JV partner feedback on the quality and timeliness of capture support provided.
- Number of new leads or stakeholder relationships surfaced and handed to Growth per quarter.
- Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Visions Plans (Healthcare benefits are 100% employer-paid for employees only)
- Life Insurance
- Paid Time Off (Flexible/Combined PTO, Bereavement Leave, 11 Company Paid Holidays)
- 401K Retirement Plan with employer match
- Professional Development Training Reimbursement
- Flexible/remote work schedules
