Program Manager

Overview

The U.S. Census Bureau is the Nation’s primary source of statistical data about the U.S. population, housing, and economy. These measures support Congress, the Executive Branch, federal, state, and local governments, the private sector, and the public in developing and evaluating social and economic activities. The Bureau’s programs include periodic censuses, ongoing surveys, and reimbursable work on behalf of other federal agencies.

To fulfill its mission, the Census Bureau increasingly relies on innovative information technology (IT) solutions to enhance the timeliness, accuracy, and quality of its statistical products. As part of this transformation, the Census Bureau Transformation Application Modernization (CENTAM) program plays a critical role in modernizing systems, processes, and data management capabilities to meet evolving user needs.

• Ensure compliance with federal regulations, data security, and privacy requirements.
• Monitor program budgets, resources, and schedules to ensure efficient execution and cost-effectiveness.
• Identify and mitigate risks and issues impacting program delivery.
• Provide clear communication of program goals, progress, and outcomes to senior leadership and stakeholders.

• Proven experience as a Program Manager within federal government programs, preferably with the U.S. Census Bureau.
• Direct experience supporting the Census Bureau Transformation Application Modernization (CENTAM) program strongly preferred.
