• Proven ability to manage end-to-end delivery, including scope, schedule, risks, dependencies, and reporting

• Strong understanding of federal delivery environments, including compliance, cybersecurity, stakeholder governance, and operational constraints

• Experience managing cross-functional delivery teams (engineering, security, operations, client stakeholders)
