• Coordinate with Work Package Managers (WPMs), Integrated Project Teams (IPTs), and functional disciplines (engineering, manufacturing, quality, logistics)
• Develop and present status reports, briefings, and risk registers to program leadership and stakeholders
• Ensure compliance with LM EVM policies, DAU competencies, and applicable government contract requirements (FAR, DFARS)
• Identify and mitigate schedule/cost risks; support root cause analysis of performance deviations
• Facilitate data-driven decision making through performance trend analysis and forecast updates

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Computer Science, or related field; Master's degree preferred
• 5+ years of progressive experience in program management, integrated project control, or EVM in defense/aerospace
• Strong analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills; ability to interface across multiple levels of management and contractor/ government teams
• Must possess or be able to obtain and maintain the required government security clearance
• Role may require occasional travel (up to 20%) and support for off-site meetings/reviews
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment with attention to detail and compliance

Desired Skills

• Proven experience supporting IMS development, IBRs, and earned value management on large-scale programs
• Experience with industry-standard scheduling tools (e.g., Open Plan, MS Project, DoD-generated scheduling software)
• Familiarity with Agile/ Hybrid project management frameworks in addition to traditional WP/EVM approaches
• Prior CAM or similar management point role on DoD/NASA/Intel community contracts
