GovCIO is seeking a Technical Project Analyst to support the Technical Program Manager (TPM) on a fast-paced, complex federal technology program. The Analyst will own day-to-day program controls: maintaining trackers and artifacts, driving action follow-through across internal teams and subcontractors, supporting reporting and deliverables, and surfacing risks early.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working with technical teams and content, including IT and IT delivery terminology, system and platform context, and data-driven tracking tools. They should be able to translate that work into clear status, actions, and escalations for the TPM. Deep development/engineering expertise is not required, but technical fluency and the ability to get up to speed quickly are essential.

This position is fully remote located within the United States.

Coordination & Follow-Through

• Proactively follow up with internal teams and subcontractors to obtain status, inputs, documentation, and deliverables, and help carry items through to closure.
• Support customer coordination as directed within appropriate communication boundaries.
• Escalate matters requiring program judgment, interpretation, or commitments to TPM.

Meetings, Reporting & Documentation

• Prepare agendas and materials for internal, subcontractor, and customer meetings as designated
• Capture decisions, actions, owners, deadlines, dependencies, risks, and open questions, then update trackers and follow up through completion.
• Draft and assemble recurring and ad hoc status reports, presentations, deliverables, and structured documentation such as minutes, SOPs, and executive materials for review.

Tools, Data & Process Improvement

• Maintain tracking and reporting solutions in Excel, SharePoint, and related Microsoft 365 applications, including lists, libraries, dashboards, and data validation.
