What You’ll Achieve

The Mission Assurance/Quality Manager plays a strategic, high-impact role at the IDIQ level, embedded within the PMO. This person will start off in Task Order 2 setting process, oversees risk reduction, process compliance, and product reliability to guarantee the MVIs are successfully met. They enforce quality standards, oversee verification testing, and process governess. In this role, you will:

• Quality Management Framework for the IDIQ

  • Design, maintain, and continuously improve the program’s quality management approach across all task orders (e.g., quality plan, standards, templates).

  • Ensure the program’s software‑development lifecycle (SDLC), Agile/SAFe practices, and DevSecOps processes have clearly defined quality criteria at each stage.

  • Align quality practices with contract requirements, customer standards, and GDIT policies.

  • Serve as the ultimate technical authority for QA tooling and architecture.

• Process Definition, Compliance, and Continuous Improvement

  • Define and document key processes for requirements, design, coding, testing, release, defect management, and configuration management.

  • Perform periodic process compliance checks (e.g., audits, walkthroughs, spot checks) across task orders to verify teams are following agreed practices.

  • Collect and analyze findings, drive corrective actions, and track closure of non‑conformances or observations.

  • Facilitate continual improvement cycles by capturing lessons learned and updating processes, checklists, and templates.

• Metrics, Monitoring, and Reporting

  • Define and maintain a consistent set of quality and mission assurance metrics for the program, such as:

    • Defect density and leakage (e.g., defects escaping to higher environments/production).

    • Test coverage, automation rates, and rework.

    • Release quality (e.g., incidents post‑deployment, rollback rates).

  • Consolidate and analyze quality data across task orders; identify trends, hotspots, and systemic issues.

  • Provide regular quality dashboards and narratives to PMO, program leadership, and customer stakeholders.

• Risk Management, Issues, and Root Cause Analysis

  • Partner with program management to identify and track quality‑related risks and issues in the program risk/issue register.

  • Lead or support root cause analysis (RCA) for significant defects, outages, or delivery failures and ensure corrective/preventive actions (CAPAs) are defined and implemented.

  • Monitor the effectiveness of CAPAs and adjust as needed to prevent recurrence.

• Integration of Quality into Agile/SAFe and DevSecOps

  • Collaborate with the Lead Agilist, Solution Architect, and tech leads to embed quality practices into:

    • Backlog refinement, Definitions of Ready/Done.

    • Testing strategies (unit, integration, system, performance, security).

    • CI/CD pipelines (e.g., automated quality gates, static code analysis, security scans).

  • Promote and support test automation and “shift‑left” quality practices to reduce defects and rework.

  • Ensure quality checkpoints are integrated into program ceremonies (e.g., PI planning, system demos, retros).

• Deliverable and Release Quality Assurance

  • Define acceptance criteria and review standards for key program deliverables (documents, designs, plans, test evidence, release packages).

  • Perform independent quality reviews of high‑risk or high‑visibility deliverables prior to submission to the customer.

  • Participate in release readiness reviews, confirming that quality thresholds and exit criteria are met before deployment.

• Customer Interface on Quality and Mission Assurance

  • Support program management as the primary voice on quality‑related topics in customer reviews, audits, and status meetings.

  • Prepare and present quality performance summaries, trends, and improvement plans to customer stakeholders.

  • Coordinate responses to customer quality concerns, audits, or findings; track and report closure.

• Alignment Across Task Orders

• Training, Coaching, and Quality Culture

  • Provide training or orientation to new team members, Scrum teams, and task leads on program quality expectations, processes, and tools.

  • Coach teams on best practices in software quality, test design, defect prevention, and documentation.

  • Promote a culture where team members proactively raise quality issues and participate in improvement efforts
