  Title: EPMO Project Manager (Remote)
  
  Duration: 6 months (with the possibility to extend beyond)
  
  Location: Remote
  
  Contractor must be a U.S. citizen. Security clearance is not required.
  
  Description:
  
  Goals and Objectives:
  
  • Assist in Driving the Dual-Phases of the Secure Horizon Program with the Program Manager: Successfully manage the two core components: Discovery and Implementation.
  • Lead the Tiger Team (Discovery) and Lead the Execution (Implementation): Oversee a cross-functional Tiger Team consisting of specialists from infrastructure, networking, MS licensing, service desk, compliance, cyber, data management and adoption change management, as they conduct field program audits. The results of said audits will generate the tasks to determine how the field program will eventually be fully migrated out of the commercial environment and over to the high-security environment.
  • Standard Data Collection: Ensuring the Tiger Team effectively gathers localized operational and technical data from the field into the common Field Program Workbook.
  • Coordinate Engineering Customized Migration Strategies: Oversee the analysis of the Field Program Workbook to determine exact steps needed for each individual Field Program migration. This tailored approach is critical because every Field Program utilizes its own applications, data storage and unique business processes.
