  • Identifying, allocating, and managing program resources, including workforce planning
  • Overseeing Government/customer supplied property or information (GFE, CFE, etc.)
  • Managing suppliers to achieve program objectives
  • Complying with all internal processes, policies, and applicable industry standards
  • Ensuring the program team comprehends and adheres to contract scope, managing changes through control board activities
  • Developing and adhering to master plans and schedules
