GXM Technologies is seeking a Senior Agile Program Integration Lead to support advanced defense and space mission programs requiring disciplined Agile execution, complex systems integration, and enterprise-level delivery synchronization. This role provides senior leadership across multiple technical teams and workstreams, using hands-on Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) practices to align planning, technical integration, MVP releases, operational milestones, and Initial Operational Capability (IOC) objectives.
The ideal candidate combines hands-on SAFe execution with technical program integration, systems engineering awareness, release management, and operational mission delivery. This individual will work with Program Managers, Product and Solution Management, engineers, DevSecOps teams, architects, cybersecurity personnel, test organizations, and Government stakeholders to translate priorities into executable Program Increments and synchronized delivery plans.
This role is onsite in Colorado Springs, CO due to operational integration and classified mission requirements. Hybrid flexibility may be available over time based on mission requirements, program execution needs and achievement of objectives.
