- Coordinate activities and communications between government organizations, industry partners, and external stakeholders to support program objectives and resolve cross-functional issues
- Support program planning activities through the development of technical documentation, implementation plans, schedules, performance metrics, and risk mitigation strategies
- Coordinate CONUS and OCONUS travel using the Defense Travel System (DTS), including preparation of travel authorizations, vouchers, required documentation, and travel logistics
