  • Support backlog organization, delivery planning, and prioritization.
  • Maintain resource forecasts and support program financial tracking, including staffing plans, utilization, burn, and anticipated changes.
  • Coordinate program communications, product release readiness evaluations, production support ticket operations, team meetings, documentation, and team onboarding/offboarding.
  • Maintain team rosters, collaboration channels, and other shared program resources.

Competencies:
  • Organization and Follow-Through: Maintains clear ownership, dependencies, deadlines, and action items, and drives work through resolution.
  • Communication: Communicates clearly across technical, product, program, and customer stakeholders and produces concise, useful documentation.
  • Delivery Coordination: Keeps teams aligned around priorities, upcoming work, blockers, and decisions across multiple concurrent efforts.
  • Agile Facilitation: Effectively facilitates team ceremonies and supports healthy backlog management and delivery practices.
  • Judgment and Adaptability: Operates effectively in ambiguous environments, identifies where clarification or escalation is needed, and adjusts as priorities change.


Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience supporting federal government programs or working in the government contracting industry.
  • Experience using Agile/Kanban practices and project management tools to organize work, maintain backlogs, track dependencies, and support delivery.
  • Experience supporting resource planning, forecasting, program financial tracking, or similar project management functions.
