This is a Key Personnel position. You will be the single accountable contractor lead for a lean, senior 7.5-FTE team organized into three delivery pods (Architecture, Risk & Policy, and Program Operations). You will own schedule, quality, staffing, risk, and all communications with the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The order is firm-fixed-price and deliverable-driven, with eight major products due in the first 90–120 days.
Responsibilities:
- Serve as the single point of contact to the CO (scope, price, terms, key personnel) and the COR (technical direction, acceptance, status). Coordinate with NIH OCIO, the Office of IT Architecture (OITA), the Division of GRC, and the Information Security Assurance Office (ISAO).

- Deliver the Monthly Status Report, covering performance metrics (100% on-time delivery, ≥95% first-pass acceptance, Wiki freshness, office-hours participation) and the GFE inventory certification.
- Lead monthly IC office hours with GRC/ISAO and quarterly program reviews with OCIO leadership. Drive participation from 20+ of NIH's 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs) each quarter.
- Manage staffing, onboarding (NIH suitability, PIV, personnel rosters), and performance for full-time, part-time, and teaming-partner staff.
- Manage deliverable-based invoicing milestones. For Task 8 Special Projects, return a task-assignment proposal (scope, deliverables, schedule, labor mix, FFP) within five business days of a government request.
- Keep every product traceable to EO 14028, OMB M-22-09, the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) v2.0, and the HHS ZTA Strategy.
