• Build and maintain knowledge of departmental technology strategies, operations, and services, ensuring solutions align with architectural, security, and deployment standards across the software development lifecycle.
• Manage requirements, testing, and defect processes while applying PMBOK-based governance and PMO control artifacts to ensure quality, scope, cost, and schedule objectives are met.
• Analyze data to identify trends and develop cost‑benefit insights, supporting business cases, process improvements, and informed decision‑making with stakeholders.
• Lead detailed project planning, estimation, scheduling, and execution across cross‑functional teams and vendors, including issue resolution, contract coordination, and performance tracking using metrics such as Schedule Performance Index (SPI).
• Ensure compliance with organizational and regulatory requirements, including CJIS Security Policy standards, maintain required mobile technology, and adapt to evolving business, technical, and security environments.
