About the role:

This position is contingent on contract award. This is a mid-level project management role for someone who is highly organized, comfortable working with technical teams, and able to manage schedule, deliverables, risks, communications, project documentation, and project administration in a disciplined way. In this role, the Project Manager will help ensure that AMT's project team executes on time, meets government-facing deliverable requirements, maintains clear internal and external communication, and keeps project documentation organized and audit-ready. This role will also support project financial administration, including tracking progress against milestones, coordinating cost and labor inputs, and assisting with invoice preparation and backup documentation for DoW / DoD review.

The ideal candidate has experience supporting defense, federal, government-funded, or technical projects and understands the importance of compliance, documentation, stakeholder responsiveness, and disciplined execution. Prior exposure to OTA projects, milestone-based deliverables, government reporting, or federal invoicing is strongly preferred.

Develop and maintain project plans, trackers, matrices, compliance documentation, and organized records to keep deliverables complete, timely, and traceable from scope through invoicing.

Track labor, partner inputs, milestone completion, burn rate, budget status, and deliverable acceptance, and assist with invoice preparation, reconciliation, and coordination with finance, contracts, and leadership.

Identify schedule, budget, staffing, data, and stakeholder risks early, help resolve them, and serve as a coordination point for government stakeholders, industry participants, and partners.

Protect sensitive information and follow data handling, confidentiality, export control, and cybersecurity requirements while supporting briefing materials, dashboards, executive updates, and internal reports.
