Description
At MyFitnessPal, we believe good health starts with what you eat. We provide tools, resources and support to enable users to reach their health goals.
As the Sr. Manager, Federal Programs, you'll lead the MyFitnessPal business unit working alongside a major systems integrator (the Prime) to support initiatives for the U.S. federal government. You will build strong partnerships with our prime contractor, government program stakeholders, and cross-functional leaders across MyFitnessPal's product, engineering, security, and legal teams. Your leadership skills and command of federal security and compliance will allow MyFitnessPal to deliver on initiatives inside a government program.
This role is part of the Technology Operations (TechOps) organization, which includes IT, Infrastructure, Security, Site Reliability Engineering, and DevOps/DevEx disciplines. The TechOps org seeks to enable MyFitnessPal to "ship with confidence" by delivering a secure, reliable, and low-friction runway to build and operate software at scale, including within the rigorous security and compliance environment of the U.S. federal government.
Essential Duties:
Reporting to the VP, TechOps, you will own the MyFitnessPal Federal business unit end to end: its security and compliance posture, delivery of the nutrition and health capability, the relationship with the contract Prime, and the business unit’s P&L. Above all, you are the accountable owner for meeting and maintaining security, privacy, and contractual requirements, allowing product excellence and growth to follow from that foundation. You will help stand up the team, establish the operating cadence of a federal-facing business, and serve as the senior face to our prime and government customers. This is a U.S.-based, remote role and requires eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.
What you’ll be doing:
Stand up and lead the MFP Federal team and establish the governance and internal controls of a federal-facing business unit
Own the entity's P&L, operating budget, and KPIs, and partner with MyFitnessPal corporate functions (legal, security, HR, finance) to keep the entity aligned and well-supported
Own delivery of capabilities against the scope, schedule, quality, and service-level commitments set forth in the contract
Translate government requirements into a credible product and delivery roadmap, partnering across MyFitnessPal product and engineering
Serve as the primary senior point of contact and corporate liaison to our prime and government stakeholders, building a trusted-partner relationship and identifying opportunities to expand scope within the program and into adjacent federal work
Manage the security and compliance requirements that flow down from the prime, and demonstrate the product and business’s compliance status prior to and throughout the period of performance
Govern the handling of sensitive data, including segregation between the federal entity and commercial MyFitnessPal, privacy controls, audit readiness, and incident response
Qualifications to be successful in this role:
8+ years of experience, including senior leadership of a business unit, program, or P&L, with a meaningful portion in or adjacent to the U.S. federal / Department of War (DoD) market
Demonstrated, hands-on command of federal security and compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 252.204-7012/-7021, CMMC, FedRAMP, and RMF/ATO processes) sufficient to own MFP Federal’s posture
Experience operating as, or working with, a Department of War (DoD) prime or subcontractor, including managing requirements and contractual compliance
Proven track record of standing up or scaling a team or function and delivering complex software or technology programs on schedule
Strong executive communication and stakeholder management; able to be the credible senior face of MFP to a prime and to Government cus
