• Supervise the Assistant Project Manager and other key personnel, ensuring adequate staffing levels, background investigations, and roster maintenance.
• Monitor and mitigate risks, including organizational conflicts of interest (OCI), data security, and confidentiality of sensitive information (e.g., PII, CUI).
• Facilitate meetings (e.g., post-award orientation, periodic progress meetings) and document minutes for government review.
• Ensure adherence to security requirements, including Authority to Operate (ATO) processes, encryption standards (FIPS 140-2), and incident reporting (e.g., FISMA compliance).
• Oversee database management, community resource lists, case support (e.g., locating UAC, safety plans, referrals), language services, and flagging cases of concern (e.g., abuse, trafficking).
• Manage subcontractor coordination, records safekeeping, and transition activities to maintain continuity of services.

• Master's degree or higher in Social Work or a related social science discipline.
• At least five (5) years of demonstrated experience in child welfare and program oversight.
