Responsibilities
- Schedule & Timeline Management:
- Master Scheduling: Develop and maintain detailed project schedules (using MS Project, Smartsheet, or Jira), ensuring all tasks, milestones, and dependencies are accurately tracked and up-to-date.
- Sprint Coordination: Facilitate scheduling for sprint ceremonies (stand-ups, planning, retrospectives) and ensure the team adheres to the agreed-upon cadence.
- Resource Planning: Coordinate with technical leads to ensure resources are allocated correctly in the project plan and identify potential scheduling conflicts early.
- Reporting & Documentation:
- Status Reporting: Generate and distribute weekly executive status reports, highlighting progress, budget burn rates, and upcoming milestones.
- Governance: Ensure all project artifacts (charters, risk logs, decision logs) are maintained in accordance with PMO standards.

- Customer & Stakeholder Management:
- Primary Liaison: Act as the main point of contact for business stakeholders and internal customers, fielding requests and providing updates on project status.

- Communication Bridge: Translate updates from the technical team into clear, business-friendly language for stakeholders.
- Risk & Issue Tracking:

Qualifications
- 4-6+ years of experience as an IT Project Manager.

- Strong servant-leadership mindset.
- Excellent communication and conflict-resolution skills.
- Ability to translate complex technical concepts into business language.
- Detail-oriented with a strategic mindset for process improvement.
- Must be a US citizen and/or green card holder and be able to obtain Public Trust clearance.
