You will lead process-mapping efforts, facilitate root-cause analyses, and create future-state designs that deliver measurable gains in efficiency, consistency, and mission effectiveness.

-Develop evidence-based recommendations to streamline workflows and improve operational performance; prioritize improvement opportunities based on impact, feasibility, resource requirements, and strategic alignment; contribute to Continuous Improvement Roadmaps that sequence enhancements and define success criteria
-Support execution of process improvements through structured implementation plans, schedules, and tracking mechanisms; coordinate with OCIO leadership, division chiefs, technical teams, and stakeholders to ensure process changes are collaborative and data-driven
-Support development of standardized processes, templates, SOPs, job aids, and reference materials that promote consistency and repeatability across OCIO divisions; partner with change management teams to ensure process changes are communicated, understood, and adopted
-Establish mechanisms for monitoring process performance and measuring outcomes; support development of process metrics, KPIs, and dashboards that provide visibility into operational effectiveness; contribute to Monthly Progress Reports with process-specific metrics and improvement status
