LaunchTech is a veteran-owned company that prides itself on delivering service before self and excellence in all we do. We are seeking dynamic professionals who embody our core values of Integrity, Commitment, and Excellence to join our growing Crew in support of our customers across the federal, state, and commercial markets.

Looking for a senior-level role where your ability to lead, integrate, and influence drives mission success? This role directly supports the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) on the Integrated Research and Development for Enterprise Solutions (IRES) contract, where you will serve as the trusted interface connecting Government customers, program leadership, and technical teams across high-visibility initiatives.

What You'll Be Doing

The IT Integration Manager serves as a senior individual contributor and trusted interface among Government customers, program leadership, technical teams, and functional stakeholders.

This role is primarily responsible for integrating complex information technology (IT), operational, and project-management activities across multiple stakeholders. The successful candidate will drive execution of priority initiatives; maintain alignment across scope, schedule, dependencies, risks, and technical objectives; and communicate status and decision requirements to senior Government and contractor leadership.

Success in this role depends on influence, coordination, technical credibility, disciplined execution, and the ability to communicate clearly with senior leaders and customers. The position emphasizes coordination across technical and program functions, stakeholder alignment, risk management, and senior-level customer engagement.

Essential Responsibilities

  • Lead integration and execution of complex, high-priority IT and mission-support initiatives supporting MDA customers.
  • Serve as a primary contractor interface for assigned initiatives, coordinating with Government stakeholders, program leadership, technical subject-matter experts, and external partners.
  • Develop and maintain integrated project plans, schedules, milestones, action-item trackers, dependency logs, risk registers, and decision-support materials.
  • Coordinate cross-functional activities to ensure technical, operational, and programmatic requirements are understood, aligned, and executed on schedule.
  • Identify integration issues, schedule conflicts, technical risks, resource constraints, and decision points; develop practical mitigation strategies and elevate issues as appropriate.
  • Plan, facilitate, and document integrated product team meetings, technical exchanges, working groups, program reviews, and customer engagements.
  • Prepare and deliver clear, concise briefings, read-aheads, executive summaries, and status reports for senior Government and contractor leaders.
  • Translate complex technical information into decision-ready products tailored to technical, programmatic, and executive audiences.
  • Monitor initiative performance against established scope, milestones, deliverables, and customer priorities.
  • Supporting and managing resource allocations for initiatives by collaborating with Service Delivery Managers.
  • Coordinate with program-control, finance, and contract personnel as needed to support basic schedule, labor, and funding-status inputs; this role is not expected to serve as the primary owner of detailed financial tracking or cost-management functions.
  • Support development and maintenance of program documentation, including project charters, plans of action and milestones, integrated master schedules, risk-management artifacts, and technical or management reports.
  • Ensure work products comply with applicable contract requirements, customer policies, and security requirements.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

The successful candidate will:

  • Have strong written, verbal, organizational, analytical, and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Be able to work independently, prioritize competing requirements, and operate effectively in a dynamic, high-visibility environment.

  • Must have 10, or more, years of general (full-time) work experience
