Position Description

About TechSource

Founded in 1997, TechSource is comprised of over 500 senior level scientists, engineers, and industry leaders from the national laboratories, federal technology programs and the nuclear industry. We are recognized as an independent qualified expert whose advice and products are accepted as authoritative by our clients and their stakeholders.

About the Program

TechSource's Critical Supplier Program (CSP) strengthens the industrial base that supports the U.S. National Security Enterprise (NSE). Working alongside DOE / NNSA laboratories, plants, and sites, CSP identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities in the supply chain for weapons-related materials by developing and sustaining trusted, U.S.-based suppliers.

The program's core mission is to :

  • Identify and qualify commercial suppliers who can deliver classified or critical materials.
  • Mitigate single-point failures and reduce foreign dependency across DOE / NNSA's supply chain.
  • Build sustainable, domestic supplier relationships that can meet stringent quality, security, and compliance standards.
  • Bridge commercial business practices with government acquisition and security frameworks

Through strategic engagement with both government and industry partners, CSP ensures that the materials, processes, and capabilities critical to the nation's security remain resilient, qualified, and sustainable for decades to come.

Position Overview

As the Program Manager, you will drive the next phase of CSP's growth-expanding its supplier network, deepening partnerships with DOE / NNSA entities, and advancing strategies that ensure mission continuity for the nation's nuclear security programs.

You will lead a multidisciplinary team of subject-matter experts in manufacturing, security, and quality, collaborating directly with DOE / NNSA program offices, technical representatives, and commercial vendors. This position offers the opportunity to make an enduring national impact while working at the intersection of policy, technology, and industry capability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead CSP Expansion : Develop and implement scalable strategies to expand supplier engagement, qualification, and sustainment.
  • Build Partnerships : Strengthen collaboration across government, laboratory, and industry stakeholders to align capabilities with mission needs.
  • Oversee Supplier Qualification : Guide suppliers through onboarding, including facility security, contracting, and quality-assurance requirements.
  • Program Management : Oversee scope, schedule, budget, and performance reporting; prepare and deliver executive-level briefings.
  • Supply Chain Risk Mitigation : Identify and address single-point failures, conduct make / buy analyses, and develop strategic sourcing recommendations.
  • Subcontractor Oversight : Ensure subcontractors meet DOE / NNSA standards and contractual obligations.
  • Continuous Improvement : Translate government frameworks into efficient, commercially practical processes for suppliers.
  • Proposal and Contract Support : Lead or contribute to the development of RFPs, RFIs, and programmatic responses.
  • Position Locations :

  • Los Alamos, NM
  • Germantown, MD
  • Ideal Candidate Attributes

  • Mission-Driven : Deeply motivated by contributing to national security and industrial resilience.
  • Strategic & Operational : Able to connect long-term vision to day-to-day execution.
  • Collaborative Influencer : Skilled at navigating and aligning government, industry, and laboratory perspectives.
  • Adaptive Leader : Thrives in complex, evolving environments and balances structure with flexibility.
  • Effective Communicator : Translates technical, contractual, and programmatic details into clear, actionable communication.
  • Location : Able to be onsite and living within a 2 hour commute to the Los Alamos or Germantown offices.
  • Required Qualifications

  • Minimum of 5 years of program or project management experience, ideally involving complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
  • Proven experience in subcontractor or vendor management within highly regulated or government-sensitive industries.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills with both technical experts and senior executives.
  • Ability to manage multiple scopes of work and priorities in dynamic environments.
  • Demonstrated flexibility, responsiveness, and collaborative leadership style.
  • Familiarity with DOE / NNSA, DOD, or similar government contracting and program environments.
  • Ability to interpret and apply programmatic accounting and cost principles in a management context.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25%.
  • Eligibility for DOE Q clearance (active clearance preferred).
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience supporting DOE / NNSA programs or related nuclear security missions.
  • Understanding of DOE / NNSA organizational structure, mission priorities, and acquisition processes.
  • Familiarity with Quality Assurance requirements governed by DOE / NNSA, including but not limited to : NAP 401.1a, NQA-1, ISO 9000, or AS9100 standards. (Direct experience with all levels of these requirements is not required-demonstrated understanding of how they inform supplier qualification and compliance is preferred.)
  • Knowledge of security and compliance frameworks for personnel, facility, and cyber operations.
  • Experience developing and sustaining commercial supplier relationships to meet government quality and security expectations.
  • Experience drafting or reviewing responses to government RFPs / RFIs / RFQs and contributing to contractual documentation.
  • Create a job alert for this search
