This position will work closely with program leadership, project managers, technical teams, and customer stakeholders but will not have responsibility for managing the PMO or supervising project managers.

Key Responsibilities

• Support program and project planning activities, including schedules, milestones, deliverables, dependencies, resources, and performance measures.
• Develop, update, and maintain integrated project schedules and related planning documentation.
• Track project status, risks, issues, decisions, dependencies, and action items across multiple workstreams.
• Analyze schedule, resource, cost, and performance information to identify trends, gaps, and potential delivery risks.
• Prepare dashboards, status reports, executive summaries, briefing materials, and other program-management deliverables.
• Coordinate with project managers, technical teams, business stakeholders, and government customers to collect and validate project information.
• Facilitate project meetings, document decisions and action items, and follow up with responsible parties to support timely completion.
• Support risk identification, impact analysis, mitigation planning, escalation, and ongoing monitoring.
• Assist with resource planning and allocation by identifying capacity constraints, competing priorities, and project dependencies.
• Review existing business and project-management processes, document current-state workflows, and recommend practical improvements.
• Support requirements-analysis activities, including gathering information, documenting business needs, analyzing processes, and helping translate needs into actionable requirements.
• Develop and maintain PMO templates, standards, procedures, repositories, and governance documentation.
• Monitor the completion and quality of required project artifacts and help ensure compliance with customer and organizational standards.
• Support change-management activities by documenting impacts, coordinating communications, and helping teams adopt updated processes.
• Assist with strategic planning, portfolio analysis, and the alignment of project activities with program and customer objectives.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by identifying opportunities to simplify reporting, strengthen controls, and improve delivery visibility.
