• Enterprise Risk & Quantitative Analysis: Lead or support program risk management processes, executing Monte Carlo simulations, schedule risk analyses, and risk-loaded schedules to evaluate impacts on cost, performance, and milestones.
• Cross-Functional IPT Support: Lead and participate in Integrated Product Teams (IPTs/WIPTs), Program Management Reviews (PMRs), and milestone decisions, briefing senior leadership on critical paths, schedule variances, and execution status.
• Financial & EVM Integration: Integrate schedule toolsets with cost and financial data (EVM analysis, spend plans, status of funds) to support acquisition documentation and compliance with DoD acquisition guidance.
• Acquisition Lifecycle Compliance: Evaluate technical, cost, and schedule data across research, development, testing, production, and sustainment phases in accordance with DoDI 5000.02 standards.

Qualifications: Required Education & Experience:

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree (4-year) in Business, Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• Scheduling Software: Proficiency with industry-standard scheduling software (e.g., Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, Open Plan, or Milestones Professional).
• Risk Analysis & Simulation: Demonstrated experience conducting schedule risk assessments and quantitative modeling using risk tools and simulations (e.g., Monte Carlo analysis, Risk Recon, or equivalent schedule risk software).
• Cost & Baseline Integration: Familiarity with integrating schedule baselines with program cost estimating, financial execution data, or Earned Value Management (EVM) toolsets (e.g., ACEIT, JACS, or similar cost/schedule integration software).
• Productivity & Reporting: High proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook) for developing schedule metrics, variance reports, and executive briefings.

Core Competencies

• Baseline & Variance Management: Proven ability to build and manage Integrated Master Schedules (IMS), establish baseline changes, conduct critical path analysis, and perform schedule variance assessments.
• Lifecycle Alignment: Understanding of structured project lifecycle frameworks (e.g., product development, system testing, production, or sustainment) and standard Work Breakdown Structures (WBS).
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Demonstrated expertise leading or supporting multi-disciplinary Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) or project working groups to collect schedule status and resolve execution roadblocks.
• Leadership Reporting: Strong written and verbal communication skills with a track record of translating complex schedule and risk data into clear metrics, dashboards, and executive-level briefings.
