• Monitor actual hours, forecast remaining effort, and identify potential budget or schedule problems early.
• Document decisions, client approvals, scope changes, and delivery obligations.
• Coordinate invoicing milestones and supporting documentation with finance.
• Help develop realistic delivery plans and cost estimates for proposals.
• Build reusable project templates, workflows, and lessons learned.
• Develop internal staff so AlphaGov can perform more qualified delivery work in-house.

Requirements

• Experience managing public-sector clients or engagements with formal contractual deliverables and acceptance requirements.
• Ability to manage project finances, schedules, scope changes, and competing priorities.

• Strong client communication, business writing, and meeting facilitation skills.
• Ability to turn complex requirements into clear assignments and accountable work plans.
• Willingness to work directly on delivery details while building a growing practice.

• Experience managing government contracts and supporting proposal development.
• PMP or a comparable project management credential.
