Program Manager
CurrentWorking through the merger between Lockheed Martin and Leidos, my current role is listed as a Program Manager, however the work is more in line with that of an Account Manager. I currently manage 5 teams all supporting our customers across different Defence projects. My portfolio of work is centred around geospatial capability development.Over the past 4 years, my account has grown from 13 staff members through to a staff of 40+, working across 4 different locations. I've been responsible for the recruitment and retention of all staff and have done so by maintaining strong working relationships with my staff. I've also been responsible for the cost management and budgeting of the account, with a growth of more than 250% over 4 years.I am responsible for the development and growth of all staff, implementing a two-way feedback system throughout the year to insure personal and professional growth is a focus point for my teams. I have also helped develop formal development plans for junior staff and been able to provide growth opportunities to see those staff promoted and leading work of their own.
