• Proactively identify performance, staffing, transition, invoice, schedule, and customer-service issues; develop corrective action plans and implement timely remedies.
• Coordinate approved surge support for end-of-fiscal-year requirements, protests, policy or executive-order changes, system upgrades, and other unexpected workload increases.
• Ensure all contractor personnel understand security, suitability, privacy, Section 508, organizational conflict-of-interest, contractor-identification, and inherently governmental function requirements.
• Prepare and maintain transition, staffing, quality, performance, risk, and management documentation required by the contract.

• Strong working knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation and federal acquisition lifecycle, including pre-award, award, post-award administration, contract closeout, policy, and reporting functions.

• Project Management Professional, FAC-P/PM, FAC-C, DAWIA, or comparable program or acquisition credential preferred.
• Excellent written and oral communication, organization, recordkeeping, customer-service, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
