• Risk Management: Work with the risk management team to help maintain the risk register, monitor mitigation actions, and support analysis of impacts to cost and schedule.

• PMO Coordination: Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including engineering, finance, contracts, and operations. Assist in preparing program briefings, reports, and documentation such as program reviews or customer updates.

• Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the development of program processes, tools, and best practices. Help identify opportunities to streamline workflows and improve overall project execution.

• Team Culture & Collaboration: Support a team environment grounded in GDIT values of honesty, trust, transparency, and inclusion. Engage with colleagues and leaders to build strong working relationships and support program success.

• US Citizenship required

- Interest in learning earned value management, forecasting, or data-driven program analysis
