Job description

Rapid Strategy is seeking an experienced Program Manager to provide high-impact support to the Defense Health Agency’s (DHA) IT Human Capital Program under the purview of CIO J-6. This role is integral to workforce planning, readiness analysis, and enterprise-wide personnel alignment across SDD and RMED directorates.

This individual will partner with government leads to manage personnel operations, generate workforce analytics, and oversee performance reporting efforts that directly contribute to the Department of Defense’s health IT mission.

Responsibilities:

• Lead enterprise manpower planning and performance management initiatives.
• Oversee maintenance of workforce rosters, dashboards, and readiness reports.
• Support HR system configuration and document SOPs, workflows, and SharePoint content.
• Coordinate staffing activities and ensure alignment with DHA’s IT strategic plan.
• Provide status briefings, risk assessments, and operational updates to senior leaders.

Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in HR, workforce management, or program planning in a federal/military setting.
• Must be a US Citizen
• Strong understanding of DHA or DoD workforce structures and personnel systems.
• Proficiency in SharePoint, Excel, PowerPoint, and data reporting tools.
• Bachelor’s degree in HR, business, information systems, or a related field required.

Who Should Apply

• Experience managing workforce operations in one of the largest federal health IT organizations in the U.S.
• Hands-on involvement in planning, organizing, and optimizing human capital for national defense health missions.
• Opportunities to influence policy, process improvement, and reporting structures that guide federal staffing strategy.
• Exposure to high-level programmatic coordination and executive engagement within DHA and CIO J-6.
• Practical knowledge of how performance metrics and readiness data drive operational and staffing decisions across a complex government enterprise.

This role is well suited for experienced professionals with a background in information management, healthcare delivery, or public sector modernization. Ideal candidates bring a strategic mindset and hands-on experience supporting enterprise transformation, particularly within Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs), the Defense Health Agency, or similar government health organizations. If you’re comfortable advising leadership, preparing briefing materials, and supporting cross-functional planning efforts, you’ll thrive in this role. Applicants who are eager to help shape the future of military healthcare through IT modernization, manpower planning, and organizational improvement will find this opportunity especially rewarding.

At Rapid Strategy, we believe that building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic team is key to driving innovation and success. Studies show that women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community may hesitate to apply for roles unless they meet every qualification listed. We want to change that. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every single qualification, we still encourage you to apply. You might be the perfect fit for this position—or another opportunity with us. The Rapid Team looks forward to hearing from you!
