The Position:
Censeo Consulting Group is seeking Project Analysts at Early Career and Mid-Level experience levels to support the General Services Administration (GSA) Assisted Acquisition Services (AAS) organization through the Contracted Enterprise Support (ACES) program.

In this role, you will work with project managers and cross-functional teams to track project performance, maintain schedules and project documentation, analyze program information, monitor risks and action items, and provide stakeholders with clear and timely information to support successful project execution.

This position is ideal for analytical, organized, and detail-oriented professionals who enjoy working with data, coordinating across teams, solving problems, and helping complex projects stay organized and on track.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Support the planning, execution, monitoring, and reporting of federal projects and program activities.
  Collect, organize, validate, and analyze project, program, acquisition, financial, and performance information.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, milestone trackers, deliverable trackers, action-item logs, risk and issue registers, and other project management tools.
• Monitor project milestones, deadlines, dependencies, risks, issues, and outstanding actions.
• Analyze project information to identify trends, gaps, risks, and potential issues requiring stakeholder attention.
• Prepare project status reports, dashboards, briefings, presentations, data summaries, and other client-facing materials.
• Coordinate with project managers, acquisition, contracting, financial, technical, and program personnel to collect information and support project execution.
• Support meetings and working sessions by preparing materials, documenting decisions and action items, and tracking follow-up activities through completion.
• Assist with tracking project deliverables and ensuring required documentation is complete, accurate, organized, and current.
• Support project and portfolio reporting through the collection, validation, analysis, and presentation of project information.
• Assist project managers with identifying schedule conflicts, outstanding actions, and dependencies that may affect project performance.
• Maintain project files, documentation, reports, and supporting records.
• Support the development and improvement of project management processes, reporting tools, templates, and workflows.
• Support multiple projects, workstreams, and priorities in a deadline-driven federal consulting environment.
