Responsibilities
- Stand up and maintain a consolidated program tracker covering milestones, tasks, suspense dates, blockers, risks, and division-level dependencies across all six OCFO divisions

- Identify bottlenecks, role/access failures, unmet dependencies, and recurring breakdowns; drive root-cause analysis with division staff and your counterpart; log issues, actions, aging, and closure

- Produce the executive communication suite: daily micro-updates when required, weekly action/risk/status reports, monthly performance summaries, and quarterly strategic reviews
- Draft leadership-ready talking points, decision memos, briefing decks, and risk registers. Coordinate inputs across divisions and verify facts before anything reaches a Deputy CFO-level audience
- Prepare OCFO for audits, reviews, and strategic engagements by synchronizing data, tasks, and briefing materials from multiple divisions
- Liaise with contracting officers, financial specialists, system administrators, and other contractors without directing their work
- Support on-time delivery of the task-order deliverables your seat owns: Weekly Status Reports, Quarterly Strategic Review, Issue & Resolution Log, and the post-award orientation briefing
