• Facilitate planning workshops with delivery teams to validate assumptions, sequencing, and readiness, ensuring plans are executable and aligned with delivery reality.
• Provide structured planning and controls reporting to BU leadership and client PMO stakeholders as applicable (milestone status, variance, critical path, decision logs).
• Support change control processes by assessing schedule impacts of scope changes and providing clear documentation for approval workflows.
• Drive planning discipline and consistency by applying standard templates, schedule quality checks, and planning best practices.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to continuous improvement of planning standards, tools, and practices within the BU.

Required Qualifications

• 6–10 years of experience in project planning, scheduling, project controls, or PMO controls within complex delivery environments.
• Demonstrated ability to build and manage integrated schedules for multi-workstream projects or programs.
• Strong understanding of planning disciplines: WBS, dependency mapping, critical path, baseline management, and variance analysis.
• Experience supporting governance cadences and working with PMs to drive disciplined execution.
• Strong communication skills and ability to translate schedule data into clear insights and decisions.
• Experience operating in matrixed, multi-stakeholder environments (delivery, vendors, client PMO).
• Bachelor’s degree required or equivalent relevant experience.
• Experience in asset-intensive or regulated environments.
• Proficiency with scheduling tools (e.g., MS Project, Primavera P6, Smartsheet, or equivalent).
• Experience with integrated cost/schedule reporting and structured change control.
• Relevant certifications (PMP, PMI-SP, Primavera certifications) are a plus.

Success Measures

• Improved staffing predictability: fewer schedule disruptions caused by unplanned resource constraints, late allocations, or skill coverage gaps.
• Improved predictability and transparency in delivery governance
• Reduction of schedule-related surprises and rework
