• Coordinate technical delivery across developers, cloud/system engineers, web administrators, content analysts, QA testers, accessibility specialists, and information resources staff.
• Oversee release readiness activities, including development status, defect resolution, regression testing, accessibility validation, content quality checks, deployment coordination, and post‑release support.
• Facilitate recurring project meetings, technical working sessions, status reviews, demonstrations, and decision‑making discussions with Government stakeholders and partner contractors.
• Identify schedule, scope, quality, security, accessibility, infrastructure, and dependency risks; develop mitigation plans and elevate issues with clear recommendations.
• Coordinate with Federal client IT, hosting/cloud vendors, operations teams, and other contractors to resolve technical issues related to connectivity, environments, patching, monitoring, backups, CDN, search, and system availability.
• Prepare concise status reports covering accomplishments, planned work, risks, issues, deliverables, blockers, release status, and resource needs.
• Support quality management and continuous improvement by standardizing workflows, SOPs, templates, metrics, lessons learned, and team operating practices.

• Experience managing technical projects, web/digital services, CMS‑based websites, application development, or Federal IT delivery programs.
• Experience managing Agile/Scrum or Kanban teams, including backlog management, sprint execution, release planning, and stakeholder demos.
• Working understanding of Drupal/WCMS platforms, web operations, content workflows, UX, QA, accessibility, analytics, and production support.
