Program & Project Management Recruiting · Nationwide

Hire program managers who deliver.

Programs live or die on the person running them. BizFirst recruits program and project managers who can own scope, schedule, budget, and delivery, across government contracting and commercial teams. An experienced Client Delivery Lead runs every search, on flat, transparent fees, and we recruit nationwide from our base in Ashburn.

What we recruit

Delivery leaders for GovCon and commercial teams

Program and project management is one of the hardest hires to get right and one of the most expensive to get wrong. Our experienced recruiters know these roles in both government contracting and commercial settings, and screen for people who can actually run the work, not just talk about it.

Program & project managers

Program directors, senior and technical PMs, project managers, and PMO leaders who own scope, schedule, and budget.

Agile delivery leads

Scrum masters, product owners, and agile delivery leads for software and modernization programs.

Cleared & GovCon PMs

Cleared program managers, capture and proposal managers, and delivery leads for primes and subcontractors, through TS/SCI. See cleared recruiting and GovCon.

Predictable cost

Senior-led, at a fee you can see

You do not need a 20 to 30 percent agency fee to hire a strong program manager. BizFirst contingent DirectHire is 10 to 15 percent of first-year salary, embedded PartnerHire is billed monthly, and every fee is quoted up front. For a single, well-defined PM role, a flat-fee search is available through HireSelect.
