- Ensure requirements are captured, reviewed, approved, and managed throughout program execution.
- Develop work breakdown structures and integrated schedules that clearly define activities, dependencies, milestones, and deliverables.
- Build and maintain program financial plans, monitor actual performance against forecasts, and take action when variances arise.
- Ensure high-quality, timely submission of customer deliverables.
- Partner with customers and internal teams on captures, proposals, and opportunities that expand the EW business.
