• Partner with the PMO, Program Directors, Project Managers and Stream Leads to improve scheduling discipline.

Required experience

• Advanced experience using Microsoft Project Professional 2021, with Microsoft Project Online and SharePoint highly regarded;

• Demonstrated success developing and managing integrated schedules for large-scale programs;

• Strong knowledge of scheduling methods, baselining, critical path analysis, dependencies and scenario planning;
