The TPM will develop and maintain detailed integrated roadmaps, project plans, work breakdown structures, project checklists, timelines, tasks, and deliverables. The TPM will need to manage all system and operational risks and implement ongoing risk mitigation and escalation protocols. The TPM will develop and maintain professional relationships with IT and business leadership, internal and external project teams, including the EOTSS and EOHHS organization service units, and end users.
