MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT

Lead planning, execution, governance, and delivery for the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) effort. The Program Manager will coordinate across USPS/USPIS, Appian, Appian Accelerate, CIO organizations, and the systems integrator to deliver a secure, scalable, user-centered solution that minimizes custom code, supports Agile delivery, integrates internal and external law enforcement systems, and adheres to USPS/USPIS policies (AS-805 security, TSLC, Section 508) and authorization processes (A&A).

• Lead Appian-based solution delivery using native configuration capabilities; minimize custom code and enforce platform best practices.
• Coordinate implementation with Appian Accelerate advisory services and USPS/USPIS governance channels; maintain accountability for systems integration activities.
• Drive Agile execution (Sprint 0 through Sprint 1–n): backlog management, sprint planning, burn-down tracking, release readiness, and retrospectives.
• Ensure compliance with USPS IT, privacy, and security policies (AS-805 series) and Section 508 accessibility requirements; oversee VPAT/ACR submissions and remediation.
• Support A&A (Authorization) lifecycle deliverables: BIA, Security Plan, vulnerability scans & penetration testing results, POA&M/RMP, Technical Architecture Diagrams (TAD), hardware/software lists, and continuous monitoring cadence.
• Plan and govern integrations with USPS and external law-enforcement partner systems via secure, standards-based APIs and data exchange.
• Establish data governance practices aligned to USPS Chief Data & Analytics Office; ensure data dictionary, authoritative sources, auditability, and analytics/reporting quality.
• Lead performance, scalability, and reliability testing; manage test results and acceptance criteria.
• Produce program documentation: architecture artifacts, integration designs, deployment runbooks, training materials, and operational readiness plans.
• Manage vendor performance and deliverables; define acceptance criteria and oversee contract compliance and monthly progress reporting.
• Plan and execute transition activities (phase-in/phase-out), knowledge transfer, and continuity of operations.
• Coordinate travel and onsite activities as directed by the COR/CO; adhere to USPS invoicing and reporting expectations as applicable.
