• Translate approved requirements, architectures, and delivery objectives into integrated work breakdown structures, schedules, milestones, dependencies, owners, resource assumptions, decision points, and measurable completion criteria.

• Build and maintain an integrated master schedule or equivalent authoritative plan showing critical and near-critical paths, cross-project dependencies, resource loading, external constraints, governance gates, and forecast dates.

• Prioritize and sequence work using mission value, Government commitments, urgency, technical dependencies, risk reduction, resource capacity, security/ATO lead time, maintenance windows, procurement, and operational impact.

• Control work in progress and identify harmful multitasking, context switching, over-allocation, and false parallelism; recommend explicit scope, schedule, resource, or priority trade-offs when demand exceeds capacity.

• Apply predictive, Agile, and hybrid delivery methods appropriately while preserving an honest integrated forecast, architecture/security gates, configuration control, acceptance criteria, and operational readiness.

• Coordinate with Government stakeholders, product and requirements owners, architects, engineers, Security, Service Operations, Program Operations, finance, contracts, vendors, and subcontractors maintaining decision authority.

• Plan for procurement, licensing, environment access, data/model transfer, ATO/RMF activities, vendor dependencies, lab and test capacity, maintenance windows, change approvals, training, communications, and sustainment

• Manage scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, and benefits; detect variance early; develop recovery options; re-baseline through authorized change control; preserve the history and rationale of commitments.

• Demonstrated delivery experience in IC environments involving multiple technical domains, stakeholder groups, and shared resources.
• Proven ability to build and manage work breakdown structures, integrated schedules, critical paths, dependencies, resource/capacity plans, milestones, baselines, forecasts, and recovery plans.
• Demonstrated skill prioritizing and sequencing competing work under constrained capacity, including documented decisions to pause, defer, reduce scope, re-sequence, or stop work when warranted.
• Experience managing projects through requirements, engineering analysis, design, integration, build/test, production readiness, deployment, validation, transition, and operational acceptance.
• Working technical literacy across enterprise infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity/RMF, networks, applications/software, data, monitoring, automation, ITSM, and service operations.
• Strong command of risk, issue, action, dependency, decision, change, configuration, quality, and stakeholder-management practices, including early escalation and documented decision authority.
