Responsible for project budget, schedule, monitoring, and completion of goals and milestones in accordance with approved plans.
Conduct recurring reviews of technical progress, financial, and risk mitigation plans.
Oversee development of program artifacts including CONOPS, digital engineering deliverables, and sustainment documentation.
