About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Lead and manage AI IT modernization projects supporting VA healthcare and enterprise transformation initiatives, ensuring delivery teams leverage AI platform outputs to accelerate analysis, documentation, and development.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams including AI/ML engineers, prompt engineers, legacy system specialists, development, infrastructure, cybersecurity, integration, and operations personnel across concurrent workstreams.
- Develop and manage integrated program plans, schedules, resource allocations, risks, and deliverables across both an AI platform team and a modernization delivery team operating on overlapping timelines.
- Facilitate Agile sprint execution across multiple concurrent scrum teams, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospectives, ensuring AI-generated analysis is embedded in backlog development and acceptance criteria.
- Track project progress, milestones, dependencies, sprint velocity, and budget considerations to ensure successful execution and on-time delivery of program proof points.
- Support modernization efforts involving legacy VistA/MUMPS-based systems and enterprise healthcare applications.
- Provide informed oversight of AI platform activities including legacy code ingestion, dependency mapping, workflow generation, and business rules extraction, ensuring platform outputs directly accelerate modernization delivery.
- Operate within VA’s Veterans-focused Integration Process (VIP) framework, aligning sprint delivery, artifact production, and approval sequencing to VIP phase gates throughout the program lifecycle.
- Collaborate with government leadership and program stakeholders to align project execution with mission objectives and strategic priorities.
- Identify, manage, and mitigate project risks including those specific to AI-assisted delivery such as model output reliability, dependency mapping gaps, and data lineage requirements in federal environments.
- Ensure compliance with VA, federal, and organizational governance, reporting, and documentation requirements, including DevSecOps standards, CI/CD pipeline governance, and VA development approval processes.
- Facilitate status meetings, executive briefings, sprint reviews, and stakeholder communications, translating complex technical and AI delivery progress into mission-impact language for VA leadership.
- Support change management, process improvement, and operational transition activities, ensuring modernization outcomes are positioned for sustained VA adoption beyond the pilot period.
- Develop and maintain project documentation including program plans, schedules, risk registers, meeting minutes, action trackers, executive reports, and VA governance artifacts required at each phase gate.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on delivery excellence, AI output quality, team collaboration, and establishing reusable modernization patterns for future program application.
- Coordinate ATO and FedRAMP planning activities from program inception, tracking SSP progress, ISSO engagement, security control mapping, and evidence collection so that accreditation is not a late-stage blocker.
- Serve as the primary technical point of contact for day-to-day VA program office interactions, coordinating upward with executive leadership for strategic and client relationship matters.
