项目管理专员

Overview
LMI is seeking a proactive and highly organized Project Management Specialist to support a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) program focused on suicide prevention and mental health.
This role will provide day-to-day project management, administrative, and operational support across multiple technical and programmatic workstreams. The successful candidate will work closely with Program Managers, Project Managers, technical teams, and client stakeholders to keep work organized, maintain visibility into priorities and commitments, and help ensure teams follow through on key actions and deliverables.
This position is ideal for someone who is comfortable working in the gray, takes initiative without waiting for every task to be assigned, and is eager to learn how complex federal programs are managed. We are looking for a dependable, curious, and resourceful teammate who is willing to jump in where needed, ask thoughtful questions, identify gaps, and continuously take on greater responsibility.
The role will also provide exposure to the technical side of the program, including work involving Microsoft Power Platform, SharePoint, data and analytics, and program evaluation. The ideal candidate does not need to be a developer or data scientist but should have an interest in understanding how technical solutions are designed, delivered, and managed.
This position offers a strong development path for an individual interested in growing into increasingly complex project and program management responsibilities.
