Job Description
GDIT Technical Operations Resolution MGR are responsible for the root cause analysis process for outages related to GDIT provided IT. This includes desktop, server, network, telephony and cloud based services. In the circumstances where a service outage has occurred and been resolved, it is their role to determine the cause of the outage. This is accomplished via coordinating with multiple teams to include meetings with the engineers and GDIT leadership. That coordination combined with an intricate knowledge of the entire technology infrastructure allows for an extremely high success rate. This role requires high level, decision making, while supporting a high profile large Government client. Once service is restored, root cause analysis is completed, to ensure similar outages do not re-occur. The role also requires a proactive approach as well, via actively seeking out problem candidates in order to investigate and avoid future outages before they occur.

Technical Program Manager Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a technical program manager in Maryland?
Most Maryland employers expect a bachelor's degree in a technical discipline such as computer science, systems engineering, or information technology, followed by several years in a hands-on technical role before moving into program management. Maryland does not require a state-issued license for this role, but the PMP credential from the Project Management Institute carries significant weight with federal contractors in the region. Many candidates in Maryland enter through defense or government IT, where DoD program management experience accelerates progression.
How much do technical program managers make in Maryland?
Technical program managers in Maryland earn a median of about $171,490 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $106,620 for the lowest 10% to over $245,830 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire technical program managers in Maryland?
Companies currently hiring technical program managers in Maryland include Linde, Anduril, and Xometry, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Maryland's concentration of federal agencies and defense prime contractors means that a large share of openings involve cleared or clearance-eligible candidates supporting government programs.
Which Maryland cities have the most technical program manager jobs?
Rockville, Curtis Bay, and Annapolis Junction hold the most technical program manager openings in Maryland. The Bethesda and Columbia areas draw volume from federal agencies and their prime contractors, while Baltimore's presence reflects the city's anchor institutions in healthcare IT and defense systems, making demand less concentrated in a single sector than in many comparable markets.
Are there remote technical program manager jobs in Maryland?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 60% of technical program manager openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the desk-based, coordination-heavy nature of the work. That said, roles supporting classified federal programs or requiring on-site collaboration with agency stakeholders in the DC corridor are more likely to require regular in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a technical program manager in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving laterally from a technical individual contributor role, such as software engineer, systems analyst, or IT project coordinator, into a junior program management position. Large Maryland defense contractors like Northrop Grumman and Leidos regularly recruit early-career candidates into associate program manager or program analyst roles, particularly those with a technical degree and demonstrated ability to coordinate across teams. Earning a CAPM or completing a Scrum Master certification gives candidates a measurable credential edge, and many federal contractor roles explicitly list these as acceptable substitutes for years of experience.
Where can I find and apply to technical program manager jobs in Maryland?
