  • Highly organized with exceptional planning, prioritization, and execution skills and the ability to create clarity from complexity.
  • Self-motivated mindset with a demonstrated ability to build structure, processes, and execution frameworks in environments where infrastructure and support systems are still maturing.
  • Hands-on experience developing and maintaining Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), Integrated Master Schedules (IMS), and resource-loaded schedules.
  • Experience with program financial management, including ETC, EAC, forecasting, budgeting, and financial performance analysis.
  • Strong customer management skills and demonstrated ability to manage expectations while controlling scope, cost, and schedule.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Department of Defense security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Twelve (12)+ years of defense program management and leadership experience.
