Consequential Work. Dedicated People.

About Onebrief

Onebrief builds collaboration and AI-powered workflow software for military planning and operational coordination.

Military planning is complex by nature, requiring teams to coordinate information, people, and decisions across systems and locations. Onebrief brings planning, collaboration, simulation, and AI into one connected environment, helping teams test strategies, adapt to changing conditions, and make decisions with greater clarity when the stakes are real.

We are a distributed team of builders from military, operational, and technology backgrounds who care deeply about improving how important work gets done. Some team members work remotely, while others work directly alongside customers in operational environments around the world.

Founded in 2019, Onebrief is backed by leading investors including General Catalyst, Battery Ventures, Insight Partners, Sapphire Ventures, and Human Capital. Valued at more than $2 billion, we continue to invest in product innovation, AI capabilities, and team growth.

About the Role

We are hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to own execution of Onebrief’s participation in the Army’s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) program. You will lead a dedicated team focused on NGC2-specific requirements, coordinating platform, data, backend, and frontend engineering work against government requirements and contractual commitments.

Onebrief’s core product teams deliver continuous improvements that feed into NGC2. You will work with them to align NGC2 needs with the broader product roadmap. Larger platform efforts, such as DDIL capability, run in partnership with Onebrief’s Tech Department, and you will represent NGC2 requirements in that work.

You will work on-site at Fort Carson, Colorado, three days per week alongside government stakeholders and industry partners. Expect up to 40% additional travel tied to program events such as military exercises. You will turn working sessions into clear requirements, maintain an executable backlog, and drive delivery through demonstrations and operational use. You will also coordinate ongoing support as users adopt these capabilities. You must hold U.S. citizenship and an active Secret security clearance. You must be able to work on-site at Fort Carson three days per week and travel up to 40%.

About You

You create clarity when teams depend on each other and requirements continue to develop. You understand the technology well enough to challenge assumptions and resolve integration questions. You can explain what a demonstration proves, where gaps remain, and what the team must do next.

You build trust through consistent presence and follow-through. You engage directly with government counterparts and other vendors, document commitments, and surface delivery risks early. You connect engineering work to user needs and program outcomes. You know which requirements belong to your team and which belong on the core product roadmap, and you work across Onebrief to deliver both.

What You’ll Do

• Own execution across NGC2 engineering projects. Build and prioritize the backlog, run sprint planning and reviews, and maintain schedules with clear dependencies and acceptance criteria. Track progress against government requirements and adjust plans as priorities change.

• Represent Onebrief in daily program work. Lead technical discussions, coordinate dependencies with larger platform vendors, and deliver demonstrations with a firm understanding of the underlying capability. Document requirements and decisions. Keep the program office and Onebrief aligned on commitments.

• Connect NGC2 to the core product. Translate program requirements into input for Onebrief’s product and engineering teams. Track core product releases that affect NGC2 and plan integration and demonstration around them. Coordinate with the Tech Department on platform-level efforts such as DDIL, representing NGC2 requirements and integrating results into program delivery.

• Drive integrations and operational capabilities. Coordinate sustainable, bidirectional data exchange using ontologies and schemas defined by the program and prime contractor, including object-level classification attributes and metadata. Lead delivery coordination for identity and access enforcement and AI enablement within the program. Demonstrate results in IL5 and IL6 environments and coordinate ongoing support.

• Lead assigned engineers and coordinate supporting specialists. Set priorities, remove blockers, and request support from the Tech Department when work calls for it. Support engineer development and performance management, and lead hiring as the team grows. Coordinate vulnerability remediation and container image updates with engineering and security owners. Seek review for architectural changes that could diverge from Onebrief’s core product.

• Support contract delivery. Track effort forecasts, staffing needs, and funding constraints for the NGC2 team. Assess cost, schedule, and performance risks. Work with program leadership, Contracts, and Finance on reporting and formal submissions. Give leadership and government stakeholders concise reporting backed by delivery evidence.

What We Look For

• 6+ years of technical program management or comparable software delivery experience, including demonstrated results supporting DoD or U.S. federal government contracts. Military experience in signal, acquisition, or C2 staff roles counts toward this requirement when paired with software delivery work. You have led work across software specialties and external organizations, turning incomplete requirements into engineering tasks.

• You understand contractual scope, delivery forecasts, and performance risk. You know how to work with contracting officers, contracting officer’s representatives, and government program offices.

You do not need to write production code, but you need enough depth to hold your own in a technical conversation. Your technical foundation should include:

• Experience with Azure or AWS, with Azure preferred. You understand how cloud services and environment constraints affect deployment and operations.

• Working knowledge of container images and orchestration, including image updates, horizontal and vertical scaling, and their operational implications.

• Networking knowledge sufficient to assess connectivity dependencies and coordinate troubleshooting across organizations.

• Experience coordinating API integrations, including authentication, data schemas, and bidirectional exchange.

• Experience coordinating CI/CD and software releases, including testing, promotion between environments, rollback planning, and security patching.

• Familiarity with logs, metrics, and alerts. You can work with engineers to define evidence of system health and investigate performance problems.

• Understanding of identity providers, role-based access control (RBAC), and attribute-based access control (ABAC), including how identity and data attributes govern access.

Preferred Experience

• Prior engineering people management experience, including performance reviews and development. Exceptional technical program leadership can substitute for prior direct management.

• Experience executing firm-fixed-price software contracts or contributing to CPARS evaluations, with an understanding of how government customers assess contractor performance.

• Experience with classified deployments, DoD authorization processes, military command-and-control workflows, or DDIL operations.
