Description
Program Analyst - Risk Management & Compliance
Location: Colorado Springs, CO
Clearance Required: Active Secret Clearance
Mission
Join Leidos in supporting the U.S. Missile Defense mission through innovative, high-impact work. We're seeking a senior-level professional to play a critical role in program-level leadership-driving risk management, process governance, and quality assurance across a complex defense initiative. This is not a management role, but it directly supports the Program Manager and interfaces with government stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
At Leidos, we don't want someone who "fits the mold"-we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, what's next?" before the dust settles on what's now."
If you're already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2... good. You'll fit right in.
