• Oversee contractor-related activities such as onboarding requests, work allocation, timesheet and invoice validation, budget burn, and spend visibility in partnership with internal teams
• Maintain lightweight delivery documentation, handoffs, and decision records to improve consistency, knowledge transfer, and sustainment
• Identify recurring delivery friction points and recommend practical improvements to intake, resource allocation, tracking, and communication

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• Prior hands-on experience in enterprise application development, AI agent development, intelligent automation, integrations, or Microsoft Power Platform solutions
• Experience guiding developers, contractors, or technical delivery teams while staying close enough to the work to understand effort, blockers, and quality risks

• Ability to translate business needs into clear technical work items and help teams move from intake through build, testing, release, and sustainment
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage business users, developers, architects, security partners, and senior stakeholders
