Collecting and analyzing program data, documentation, and stakeholder input to develop solutions, recommendations, and actionable insights, and preparing weekly and monthly program status reports, dashboards, and briefings covering financial performance, schedule, staffing, milestones, deliverables, risks, issues, and overall program health are key duties. Standardizing and automating templates, reporting processes, dashboards, document repositories, and lessons-learned logs to improve consistency and efficiency is expected. Facilitating meetings and stakeholder engagements, documenting decisions, action items, risks, and follow-up activities, and communicating program status, plans, risks, issues, and recommendations clearly to technical teams, management, customers, and other stakeholders are also part of the role. Providing analytical support, technical guidance, and recommendations to program and project staff, and proactively identifying issues, developing viable solutions, and driving assigned actions through completion are important aspects of this position. Additionally, the role provides functional support to the Operations Manager by optimizing daily workflows, monitoring performance metrics, supporting resource allocation, and promoting alignment across functional teams.
