Company Description

Dcode is a team of doers dedicated to bridging the gap between the speed of technology and the federal government. We align people, culture, policies, and processes to get tech in the hands of those who need it most. Operating at the nexus of government leaders, emerging tech companies, and venture capital, we turn roadblocks into results.

Job Description

Dcode is seeking three high-performing Program Managers to support a defense client at Fort Hood in a dynamic, fast-paced Army innovation environment supporting military vehicle acquisition, modernization, and enabling digital capabilities. This single posting will be used to hire one Program Manager in each of the following specialties:

• Software Acquisition
• Automation & Operations
• Acquisition & Contracting Vehicle Execution

Each selected Program Manager will own one primary specialty. Candidates are not expected to demonstrate deep expertise in all three areas and should identify the specialty that best matches their experience.

Across the team, the Program Managers will translate mission needs into executable plans, manage efforts from problem definition through award, pilot, fielding, transition, or sustained operations, and coordinate multidisciplinary teams that may include operators, systems developers, software vendors, cybersecurity stakeholders, data owners, contracting professionals, legal and fiscal advisors, industry, academia, and senior Army acquisition leaders.

The work blends program management, agile delivery, stakeholder facilitation, technical fluency, and operational ownership. One day you might be aligning a software licensing and fielding strategy; the next, stabilizing an automation workflow, developing an acquisition package, or facilitating a decision with operators, developers, and contracting professionals. Success is measured by reliable operations, executable awards, fielded outcomes, and capabilities that transition to sustained Army use.

Duty Station: Fort Hood, TX

Salary range: $98,000-$130,000 plus bi-annual bonuses.

Top Secret clearance or higher is strongly preferred. Eligibility for clearance is required.
