Structure and track milestone-based deliverables, drive customer acceptance, and keep programs on schedule. Lead proposal, contract, and modification efforts, and negotiate changes as programs evolve. Work across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, security, and legal to keep programs moving and remove blockers. Manage prime contractors, subcontractors, and teaming partners against integrated schedules. Oversee data rights, deliverable markings, and program documentation. Manage programs and data spanning unclassified through classified environments. Build and improve the program management tools, processes, and review cadences that allow the team to scale as the portfolio grows.
