Position Summary

P17 Solutions is seeking an experienced Financial / Program Manager to provide integrated technical and financial program support across FAA National Airspace System (NAS) modernization initiatives. This position is located onsite at the William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace, Egg Harbor Township NJ.

Support budget formulation planning for FAA Capital Investment Plan (CIP) programs.
Conduct cost and schedule excursion analyses, financial performance assessments, and variance reporting for program leadership and Contracting Officers.
Provide CLIN management, contract financial tracking, and management of non-prime contractor support resources across multiple task orders.

Technical Program Support

Support technical program management activities for FAA NAS programs, including TAMR, STARS, TFDM, DataComm, NextGen R&D, UAM/AAM, or equivalent automation systems.
Monitor contractor technical performance against Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements; identify risks, interdependencies, and schedule impacts and escalate appropriately.
Support development, review, and coordination of program plans, acquisition strategies, roadmaps, and business cases for FAA investment decisions.
Assist with stakeholder engagement across FAA offices, prime contractors, and subcontractors; facilitate technical meetings and coordinate cross-functional team activities as needed
Serve as the Task Manager (TM) for assigned task orders, overseeing team responsibilities, deliverables, and day-to-day technical direction.
Lead and facilitate team meetings, setting agendas and priorities to keep the team aligned on deliverables and milestones.
Serve as the primary point of contact between the team and government/agency stakeholders on technical matters.
Proactively identify and resolve technical and programmatic risks before they escalate, ensuring continuity of operations.
Mentor and provide direction to junior team members in a Task Manager or technical lead capacity.
Other duties as assigned

Data Analytics & Reporting

Apply SQL-based queries, data transformation, and reporting to support cost analysis, EVM, and financial reconciliation tasks.
