• Lead end-to-end project management for complex, multi-workstream engagements including scope, schedule, budget, risk, and issue management • Develop, maintain, and execute detailed MS Project plans with dependencies, resource loading, and elaborated tasks; apply hybrid Agile/Waterfall approaches appropriate to the engagement context • Drive clarity and alignment when project conditions are ambiguous, off-track, or politically complex, including developing recovery plans and realignment strategies • Facilitate project status reporting, executive briefings, and governance checkpoints • Deliver status updates and executive reporting in visually compelling formats that tell the right story for the right audience • Identify and proactively manage project risks and dependencies across interconnected workstreams before they become fire drills • Use AI tools to analyze project data across workstreams, identifying schedule risks, resource conflicts, dependency chains, and early-warning patterns that inform proactive decision-making • Use AI to rapidly produce executive-ready deliverables: status reports, risk assessments, decision briefs, and governance presentations at a quality and speed that traditional approaches can’t match • Apply AI to synthesize information from multiple sources: meeting notes, vendor updates, technical documentation, stakeholder feedback, into clear, consolidated views that drive alignment • Use AI to automate repetitive PM work: status aggregation, action item tracking, schedule variance analysis, and reporting workflows, freeing capacity for the strategic and political work that determines project outcomes • Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging AI tools that improve project delivery, and share innovations with the Liberum team to raise the collective capability • Support configuration, testing, and validation activities including UAT planning and execution. You understand the technical work well enough to spot problems, not just track timelines • Coordinate across vendor, state agency, and internal Liberum team members to ensure integrated delivery across all workstreams • Engage with system integrators and technical teams as a credible counterpart who understands the substance of what’s being built, not just the project mechanics • Manage relationships with executive sponsors, steering committees, and cross-functional stakeholders across state agency environments • Engage and build foundational relationships with customers, project sponsors, vendors, and external stakeholders • Proactively communicate project progress, risks, and value delivered to client stakeholders, ensuring visibility into team contributions throughout the engagement • Coach and mentor client-side staff to build internal PM capability that outlasts the engagement • Collaborate with OCM, training, and communications teams to ensure project management outputs support adoption and readiness activities • Identify opportunities to create additional client value throughout the engagement lifecycle
