United States onlyThe Leidos Digital Modernization Sector has an opening for a Deputy Program Manager (DPM) supporting the Army Global Unified Network (AGUN) program. This position can be based in the National Capital Region or other approved locations supporting program execution.
AGUN is a large-scale Army enterprise network modernization effort spanning 150+ installations and supporting over 1.5M users. The program is transitioning the Army to a resilient, software-defined, Zero Trust-enabled network architecture capable of operating in contested environments.
The Deputy Program Manager serves as the execution lead for day-to-day program operations, ensuring delivery across engineering, cybersecurity, logistics, and PMO functions. This role is responsible for driving execution discipline, enforcing schedule alignment, and maintaining operational tempo across all Technical Delivery Lines (TDLs).
The DPM is accountable for keeping the program moving at speed—aligning teams to the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), resolving cross-functional friction, and ensuring performance against cost, schedule, and technical objectives. This role is critical to stabilizing current execution and enabling scalable delivery models in Option Year 2 and beyond.
