* Facilitate customer planning meetings, technical exchanges, and program reviews to maintain alignment with mission objectives .
* Maintain real-time situational awareness of team activities, dependencies, risks, and resource constraints.
* Identify and resolve cross-team issues related to scope, schedule, staffing, or changing requirements.
* Enable effective communication and coordination between SIs, developers, analysts, and government stakeholders.
* Support development and maintenance of execution-focused program artifacts such as schedules, plans, and status summaries.
* Work in parallel with contract management staff while remaining focused on operational delivery rather than administrative reporting. Minimum Qualification s:
* Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Project Management, Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering), or equivalent experience in lieu of degree.
* Minimum of 7 years of professional experience supporting technical programs or projects.
* Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple teams or vendors in a complex technical environment.
