Black Canyon Consulting (BCC) is searching for a Senior Program Manager – Strategic Planning & Analytics. The Senior Program Manager will provide strategic, analytical, and program leadership to support-wide strategic planning, program evaluation, performance measurement, business intelligence, enterprise reporting, and executive decision-making.
This highly visible role requires an experienced professional who can independently take an ambiguous leadership or organizational question, determine which existing evidence is relevant, establish an analytical approach, synthesize and validate information from multiple sources, identify gaps and limitations, and translate findings into clear, defensible products for senior leadership. The position will work across existing administrative, scientific, financial, workforce, operational, programmatic, and evaluation information to identify progress, outcomes, accomplishments, risks, gaps, opportunities, and implications for organizational decision-making.
The immediate and primary assignment is to lead day-to-day development of a comprehensive 10-year summary report covering the 2017-2027 Strategic Plan. Evidence of implementation and results is dispersed across OSI and NLM sources and was not organized through a single, systematic strategic-plan reporting process. The Senior Program Manager will establish the report’s evidence framework; inventory, organize, and synthesize existing information; assess evidence quality and limitations; conduct appropriate analyses; and develop leadership-ready findings, visualizations, and narrative.
The Senior Program Manager will work under OSI federal direction and collaborate with OSI staff and NLM Divisions, Offices, and Centers. This employee will lead the day-to-day analytical and production work, while OSI federal staff will establish strategic direction and retain responsibility for official institutional judgments, characterization of NLM’s progress, and final approval of the report.
Just as importantly, this person will help prepare for the next strategic plan by developing the systems, processes, and governance mechanisms needed to continuously measure progress and capture evidence throughout the life of the 2028-2032 strategic plan. Components may include an evidence and source catalog, goal-to-evidence crosswalks, structured repositories or data models, metadata and documentation standards, refresh and validation workflows, and reusable reports, dashboards, or query tools.
This is a full-time opportunity supporting NLM in Bethesda, Maryland. The desired start date is immediately, subject to contract authorization and candidate availability, for a 12-month period of performance aligned with fiscal year 2027.
