DMV Modernization Program Manager

Description

This Program Manager will be the liaison between the three parties.

The Technical Lead will serve as the primary technical liaison between internal teams and the selected implementation vendor. This role is coordination- and facilitation-focused - not a decision-making or risk-management role. You will have the following responsibilities:

Vendor Coordination & Technical Liaison

- Serve as the day-to-day technical interface between teams and the implementation vendor

- Translate vendor technical requirements into actionable tasks for internal teams

- Facilitate access provisioning, tooling requests, and environment setup needed by the vendor (accounts, permissions, Azure resources, dev tools)

- Ensure the vendor has what it needs to maintain delivery pace; track and resolve blockers

Azure Cloud Environment Support

- Coordinate with Azure team to ensure the right people and resources are engaged when vendor is building on Azure

- Support environment readiness activities - accounts, subscriptions, networking, and access controls

- Act as a bridge between legacy on-prem knowledge and the new cloud-based architecture

Agile Delivery Facilitation

- Support the transition from waterfall to Agile development methodology

- Help teams understand and keep pace with vendor sprint cycles and delivery cadence

- Track progress against the vendor's delivery schedule; flag deviations to the Program Manager

- Facilitate coordination meetings, technical stand-ups, and working sessions as needed

Systems Integration Awareness

- Maintain working knowledge of the four legacy systems being consolidated and their interdependencies

- Identify integration risks and surface them to the PM - not responsible for resolving them independently

- Support data mapping, workflow transition, and system handoff activities as directed

Team Support & Gap-Filling

- Work alongside BAs and data analysts allocated to the program

- Fill in technical coordination gaps for the ~10-person project team as needs arise

- Success metric: internal team is able to keep pace with the vendor's delivery velocity
