Purpose and Impact:

Are you ready to apply your organizational leadership to shape the Cyber, Security, & Intel landscape? Amentum is seeking a PMO Operations & Staffing Coordinator to join our team of mission-driven professionals at Fort Meade, MD. In this role, you will lead challenging, high-visibility projects that directly impact the Nation’s defense and intelligence missions.

Supporting DISA, Amentum’s Intel and Cyber Division is expanding a proven team of highly skilled engineers and architects to design, deploy, and sustain an innovative IT enterprise solution. Serving as the central operational hub for the program, this hybrid role manages the critical intersection of project execution, agile cadence, and personnel staffing pipelines.

We are seeking a PMO Operations Coordinator who combines meticulous organizational discipline with strategic foresight. In this role, you will lead efforts to establish and maintain highly efficient operational and staffing pipelines in a rapidly evolving operational environment.
