• Change Management: Support the implementation of organizational and program-level change initiatives by coordinating communication, process adoption, resource planning, and execution activities that promote successful program outcomes and continuous improvement.
• Risk & Compliance Management: Proactively identify, evaluate, and resolve program risks, contractual requirements, operational issues, and schedule impacts. Develop mitigation strategies, implement corrective actions, and escalate significant concerns to the Senior Program Manager as appropriate.
• Performance Management & Reporting: Prepare and present program performance reports, financial forecasts, customer updates, and operational metrics that provide visibility into program health, project status, financial performance, and key business objectives.
