Risk and Issue Management

  • Proactively identify and manage project risks, issues, and dependencies.
  • Implement RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, and Dependencies) processes per Grid Resilience PMO guidelines.

Team Leadership and Stakeholder Communication

  • Build and lead cross-functional teams, including IT Leads for Cyber, Grid, and Enterprise Architecture.
  • Establish clear and effective communication channels with stakeholders, vendors, and project teams.
  • Facilitate team and stakeholder meetings, providing regular updates on deliverables, milestones, and risks.

  • Support lab-specific requirements such as testing readiness, security assessments, and environment setup.

Vendor and Contract Management

  • Coordinate with vendors to ensure delivery of quality goods and services.
  • Manage contracts, project metrics, and supplier performance to meet project objectives.

Continuous Improvement

  • Identify opportunities for process enhancements and recommend strategies for improvement.
  • Maintain and share IT plans for potential new projects and emerging needs.
