The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  BKD is hiring a Program Manager in Chesapeake, VA.

• Role description

  We're looking for a Program Manager who can carry Stress Management and Negotiation at once without dropping either, here at BKD. Think of it less as a job and more as a $89,000 - $132,000 bet BKD is placing on your 6 years and your judgment.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Keep BKD's Chesapeake, VA site running while improvements ship underneath
  • Read between the lines of what Chesapeake customers actually need
  • Run point on general incidents until they're truly resolved
  • Step in on additional duties that support the wider BKD mission
  • Partner sideways with teams who rarely sit in the same room
  • Build and sustain strong working relationships across departments
  • Make general tradeoffs visible so BKD can weigh them

  What You'll Bring

  • Experience at the manager level inside a temporary role
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
  • A point of view on BKD's space, sharpened by your own reading
  • The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
  • No-ego problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission

  BKD treats Chesapeake, VA as both home and laboratory, prototyping small-but-mighty general ideas no larger rival would risk. We look out for one another, and burnout is treated as a problem to solve, not a badge to wear.

  The $89,000 - $132,000 we offer comes attached to mentorship, a clear ladder, real benefits, and flexible temporary days you can plan around.

  Marked current today, the temporary opportunity at BKD is accepting candidates.
