Job description

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.

Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed. Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors—helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change.
