Remote Project Oversight Manager

ECS is seeking a remote Project Oversight Manager. This position identifies project goals, objectives, and scope, creating project plans and documentation outlining tasks, timelines, and resources required. It works directly with the Manager, team members including employees and contractors, communicates with stakeholders, manages risks and issues, monitors progress, and provides reporting to upper management.

Day-to-day involves working alongside approximately 12 Intake, Modeling, and Data Science team members plus the Manager to develop realistic project schedules amid changing priorities and resource availability. Handling two to three dozen customer projects plus non-project deliverables with longer timelines requires maintaining a master team calendar of deliverable due dates, security reviews, and leave schedules accessible to all.

The role attends IR kickoff meetings, collaborates with Intake Coordinators to identify tasks and due dates, flags potential risks across Data Asset Services. It supports work allocation, proactively reminds team members and managers of deadlines, and assists Directors’ project manager in sprint closings and updates. The environment involves USPS-related projects, Postal terminology, and organizational structure.

Growth includes becoming knowledgeable enough to write independent status updates, paraphrase project details, and gain expertise in tools like VersionOne, Teams, and Office suite for team support. Sole responsibility for tasks emerges from learning 'how things work' in the organization. This supports ongoing project oversight in a dynamic data science and modeling team.
