• Monitor call orders, subcontracts, and funding; prepare financial forecasts in collaboration with the program manager.
• Maintain collaborative relationships with government teams to conduct lifecycle maintenance and sustainment operations.

• Active CBP BI or the ability to obtain the applicable agency clearance.
• Bachelor's degree.
• 7-10 years of experience in project management and/or logistics applications.

• Ability to interpret and act on operational analytics (throughput, cycle time, SLA performance).
• Strong understanding of government contracting operations.

Desired qualifications:
• Experience supporting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
• Certification such as PMP or PgMP to reinforce formal project management expertise.
