We are driven by a commitment to protecting what matters most. Peraton is seeking an experienced Schedule & Risk Manager to serve as the authoritative source of schedule health and delivery risk intelligence on a large-scale federal program.

This role owns the systems engineering scheduling - from initial development and baseline establishment through ongoing maintenance, variance analysis, and critical path management. You will operate at the intersection of schedule, cost, and risk, translating complex program data into actionable early warning indicators that enable BNATCS leadership to make informed, timely decisions. Your work directly supports mission-critical delivery outcomes in a high-visibility federal environment.

This position will be located in Herndon, VA.

Key Responsibilities
* Develop, baseline, and maintain the scheduling across all BNATCS Architecture & Systems Engineering activities, integrating inputs from engineering, operations, subcontractors, and government stakeholders

* Perform critical path analysis on a continuous basis, identifying schedule drivers, float consumption trends, and near-critical path risks before they become delivery threats

* Execute Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) including Monte Carlo simulation to quantify schedule uncertainty, establish confidence intervals, and support realistic milestone commitment decisions

* Maintain and manage the program risk register, facilitating risk identification, quantification (cost and schedule impact), mitigation planning, and status tracking across all risk owners

* Calculate and report Earned Value Management (EVM) metrics - SPI, CPI, TCPI, VAC, EAC - and translate performance data into corrective action recommendations for program leadership

* Conduct schedule variance root cause analysis, distinguishing between recoverable slippage and systemic delivery risk, and developing recovery plan options

* Produce schedule health metrics and early warning indicators - including schedule margin burn-down, critical path trend analysis, and risk-adjusted milestone forecasts - for weekly, monthly, and milestone reporting cycles

* Integrate schedule and risk data into Integrated Program Management Reports (IPMRs) and other government-required deliverables

* Coordinate with subcontractors and cross-functional teams to ensure schedule inputs are accurate, timely, and traceable to the IMS baseline

* Support baseline change control processes, assessing schedule and cost impacts of proposed changes and presenting findings to the Configuration Control Board (CCB)

* Maintain tooling environments for schedule and risk management, ensuring data integrity, version control, and audit readiness across all schedule artifacts
