Create and maintain program management artifacts, including Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), sprint plans, deliverable tracker, risk register, issue log, action item register, staffing tracker, and status reports.
Lead cross-functional teams supporting cybersecurity architecture, cloud security, RMF modernization, cATO, DevSecOps enablement, vulnerability management, continuous monitoring, and emerging technology or AI security testing.
Coordinate cybersecurity architecture recommendations and secure design patterns, including implementation roadmaps, SOPs, playbooks, dashboards, briefings, and customer-ready deliverables.
Support cATO implementation, including automated control assessment, control-to-evidence mapping, evidence collection, continuous monitoring, OSCAL-aligned documentation, metrics, dashboards, and authorization-support artifacts.
Oversee Emerging Technology and AI Security Engineering and Testing activities, including intake, triage, risk-tiering, evidence expectations, decision gates, testing coordination, and risk reporting.
Ensure emerging technology and AI assessments account for security, privacy, data protection, access control, supply chain risk, logging, monitoring, misuse risk, integration risk, and operational impact.
Facilitate Agile delivery, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, capacity planning, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and recurring team coordination.
Ensure work status is tracked in the Government-designated project management or Agile tracking tool.

Identify risks, blockers, staffing gaps, resource constraints, and quality concerns early, and recommend practical corrective actions.
Review deliverables for quality, accuracy, completeness, professionalism, and alignment with customer requirements prior to submission.
Support staffing, onboarding, knowledge transfer, team performance, and resource planning.
Drive a delivery culture focused on accountability, technical quality, customer service, compliance, and mission outcomes.
Perform additional/similar duties as assigned, including support across task areas, other programs/projects, as required by the Executive Team.
