Support the planning, execution, monitoring, and reporting of federal projects and program activities.

Develop and maintain project schedules, milestone trackers, deliverable trackers, action-item logs, risk and issue registers, and other project management tools.
Monitor project milestones, deadlines, dependencies, risks, issues, and outstanding actions.
Analyze project information to identify trends, gaps, risks, and potential issues requiring stakeholder attention.
Prepare project status reports, dashboards, briefings, presentations, data summaries, and other client-facing materials.
Coordinate with project managers, acquisition, contracting, financial, technical, and program personnel to collect information and support project execution.
Support meetings and working sessions by preparing materials, documenting decisions and action items, and tracking follow-up activities through completion.
