• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders (engineering, security, operations, and business units) to define requirements, scope, and delivery roadmaps aligned with mission objectives
• Proactively manage risks, dependencies, and issues across assigned projects, implementing mitigation strategies to ensure on-time and within-scope delivery
• Standardize and continuously improve project management processes, reporting frameworks, and governance structures to drive execution consistency across the PMO
• Accelerate project delivery timelines by implementing best practices, removing blockers, and improving cross-team coordination
• Manage project documentation, status reporting, and executive communications using tools such as Jira, Confluence, and MS Project
• Support ITSM processes and service delivery operations, including incident management, change management, and access provisioning as needed
• Coordinate with program leadership to ensure alignment of individual project outcomes with broader portfolio objectives, contractual obligations, and performance metrics
• Facilitate requirements gathering sessions and stakeholder alignment meetings, translating business requirements into actionable project plans and technical solutions
• Manage vendor and contractor relationships, ensuring deliverables meet quality standards and contractual commitments
• Support business continuity planning and recovery strategy development as applicable to IT project delivery
