Job description

Responsibilities

Peraton's Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have identified a critical gap in the federal government's ability to conduct comprehensive Endangered Species Act (ESA) research. While FWS operates an authoritative web-based platform for managing data for terrestrial and freshwater species, it does not currently include NMFS marine and anadromous species data forcing agencies to rely on separate, manual processes. This program closes that gap by integrating marine and anadromous species data into the existing FWS platform, creating a single, unified experience for all ESA-listed species.

Peraton is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead a high-visibility federal data integration program supporting the U.S. Department of the Interior and NOAA. In this role, you will provide executive-level oversight of a multi-agency, multi-workstream technology initiative, serving as the primary interface between the delivery team and government stakeholders.
