Program Project Manager
As an Acquisition Program Manager for 711 Human Performance Wing, I serve customers in five divisions responsible for developing and implementing contractual, financial and technical aspects of projects and programs through designated phases of the acquisition cycle. I plan and coordinate the activities of functional specialist working close with AFMC 711HPW/RQ, AFMC ASC/PKO and AFMC ASC/PKE for contracting actions, AFMC 711 HPW/FM for financial actions, and technical experts such as engineers, physicists, scientists and doctors ensuring that projects get completed within parameters of cost, performance and schedule.
I currently manage over fifty contractors on over thirty contracts. I ensure they complete their tasks, review the monthly status reports and ensure payment to their companies is properly documented in Wide Area Work Flow. If contractors do not meet the expectations of the customers, their contract and performance work statements I take actions to improve their performance or get them replaced.
I regularly attend meeting at the 0-6 level to present the status of my programs, ensure their requirements are adequately gathered and produce detailed planning documents. Additionally, I help them address funding issues and financial multi-year planning to ensure shortfalls are addressed. I work directly with program managers and executives with companies contracted to provide commodities and services with Wright-Patterson AFB, Fort Sam Houston, Wilfred Hall and the University of Cincinnati.
