The successful candidate will lead critical mission-support activities, initially focusing on a high-visibility site extension project before transitioning into a long-term lifecycle and project manager role.

This role demands a high degree of collaborative leadership. You must possess the ability to unite diverse technical groups, influence stakeholders without direct authority, and ensure cross-functional alignment with

Manage adherence to all IT governance standards, policies, and security protocols through the use of approved enterprise tools and templates.

Stakeholder Liaison:

Facilitate interdepartmental meetings to drive task completion, resolve technical conflicts, and ensure organizational alignment.

Risk Management:

Proactively identify and manage project risks and issues, ensuring deliverables remain within budgetary and scheduling constraints.

Process Optimization:

Drive the evolution of project management best practices and tools to enhance organizational efficiency and mission readiness.

Documentation:

Maintain concise, professional documentation of all project activities and conduct post-implementation evaluations to refine future lifecycle efforts.

Lifecycle Transition:

Coordinate the handover of completed infrastructure projects to steady-state O&M teams, ensuring full operational continuity. Qualifications
