  Collaboration:
  
  Provide overall program direction and leadership, maintaining high‑level cognizance of all GS computing activities spanning all utilized networks. Team with key technical and nontechnical stakeholders to ensure proper execution, delivery, and quality of work within rigid cost, scope, and schedule constraints. Work with LANL program managers, senior project leaders, line managers, and subject matter experts to help coordinate multi‑agency work to support coordinated LANL goals and objectives.
• Management and Communication: Implement and oversee rigorous program management; track, forecast, and report progress on a routine basis; and use project controls to identify and mitigate program risk related to cost, scope, and schedule. Develop, track, actively manage, and report program level risks to leadership stakeholders on a routine basis. Partner with line management to identify, forecast, and commit project staffing, facilities, and other resources as needed.
• Security Leadership and Management: Effectively identify, manage, and mitigate risk related to the complex security envelope inherent to GS computing programs. Navigate evolving security policies and processes in close collaboration with the LANL Chief Information Office (CIO) and other key stakeholders internal and external to Los Alamos.
• Computing Infrastructure Modernization and Stewardship: Support GS computing infrastructure, including compute, storage, container and virtualization services, applications, license management, Help Desk, testbed development at Unclassified level and migration to Classified level, while supporting similar capabilities on multiple classified networks.
