Your missions

Reporting to the Program Director, you will drive the operational, technical, and financial success of our development programs for digital, software, and HMI solutions (business applications, connected ecosystems, universal C2). You will intervene across the entire product lifecycle (from design to Operational Maintenance - MCO) to deliver software solutions that comply with cybersecurity, performance, and interoperability requirements, while respecting costs and deadlines.

As a Program Manager, your main responsibilities will be:

• Collect formalized requirements related to the digital project (operational concept, technical specifications, UI/UX specifications, SIOC/API interoperability, contractual elements), and ensure the traceability of software requirements and their evolutions.
• Estimate and manage the projected expenses of the project (software development, licenses, integration of third-party subsystems) while respecting the allocated budget.
• Create and maintain the program master schedule (product roadmap, sprints, versions/releases), guaranteeing progress in accordance with the objective validated with DELAIR management.
• Synchronize and coordinate cross-functional teams (Software Development, UI/UX, QA/Test, Cybersecurity, Procurement, Support, Legal), and organize the flow of information within the project team.
• Guarantee the proper consideration of security constraints and regulatory compliance (e.g., strict separation of civil/military software branches, secure offline/Edge operation, encryption).
• Drive the risk management of the digital program (cyber risks, API dependencies, development delays), identify them, and lead mitigation plans.
• Ensure the management of software quality assurance (QA reporting, anomaly/bug tracking, test automation, compliance with architecture standards).
• Guarantee controlled transfer to deployment (Release Management) and ensure the implementation of Operational Maintenance (MCO) and the update strategy.
• Coordinate system integration needs (hardware/software coupling, e.g., connected cases, universal C2) and the organization of field tests and validations.
• Lead the preparation and achievement of project milestones according to the adapted development scheme (Agile, Scrum, hybrid). Prepare and distribute milestone deliverables.
• Ensure the proper involvement of the Commercial Department in the project to guarantee compliant market launch and user adoption (training, documentation).
• Chair / participate in Change Advisory Boards, ensuring the preparation of an impact analysis for each new feature or evolution request.

Your profile

A graduate of an engineering school (Master's degree) or holder of an equivalent university degree, the candidate has at least 05 years of professional experience in managing programs or development projects for complex software solutions or digital ecosystems, with proven mastery of software project management methodologies (Agile / Scrum, V-model, configuration management, V&V).

Technical Skills

• Excellent understanding of modern software architectures (Cloud, Edge computing, API) and the challenges of cybersecurity and interoperability.
• Sensitivity to ergonomics, UI, and UX issues.
• Good notions of contractual management (software partnerships, licenses) and budgeting.
• Very good command of the English language.

NB: National and international travel is to be expected, and the position requires obtaining a security clearance issued by the competent authorities.
