2026-4331

Job Summary

Artemis is seeking two Project Schedulers to support the Community Care Network Next Generation (CCN NG) and Veterans Family Member Program (VFMP) under TOPR 0018, a large-scale federal healthcare IT initiative administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In this role, you will develop, maintain, and integrate project schedules into the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), ensuring alignment across program workstreams that directly impact healthcare delivery for Veterans and their families. You will work closely with cross-functional stakeholder teams to track milestones, surface scheduling risks, and support Agile development, testing, and release cadences within a highly regulated federal environment.

The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented scheduling professional who thrives in complex, fast-paced federal IT or healthcare programs and can balance Agile sprint cadences with traditional schedule management rigor. You are a proactive communicator who can translate technical timelines into clear, actionable artifacts for diverse stakeholders at all levels.

Primary Responsibilities

• Develop, baseline, and maintain comprehensive project schedules using MS Project, ensuring all tasks, dependencies, milestones, and resource assignments are accurately captured and kept current throughout the program lifecycle.
• Integrate individual project schedules into the program-level Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), coordinating with workstream leads and PMO staff to maintain schedule integrity, identify critical path activities, and flag potential conflicts or delays.
• Support Agile development cadences by translating sprint planning, backlog grooming, testing cycles, and release events into schedule artifacts that align with both Agile ceremonies and formal IMS reporting requirements.
• Coordinate with project stakeholders, technical leads, and government counterparts to identify, capture, and sequence tasks, ensuring that resource dependencies and inter-team handoffs are fully reflected in the schedule baseline.
• Conduct schedule health analysis including variance analysis, schedule performance index (SPI) reporting, and critical path monitoring; prepare and present schedule status reports and briefings to program leadership and VA government stakeholders.
• Support risk and issue management activities by identifying schedule-related risks, developing mitigation scenarios and what-if analyses within MS Project, and maintaining schedule change logs in accordance with VA and federal program management standards.

Minimum Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of experience in project scheduling for large-scale IT or healthcare programs, with demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-workstream schedules.
• Bachelor's degree in Project Management, Business Administration, Information Technology, Healthcare Administration, or a closely related field required.
• Prior experience supporting VA, federal healthcare, or other federal agency programs, including familiarity with federal program scheduling standards, IMS development, and government reporting requirements.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a VA Position of Public Trust (PIV credentialing) and pass applicable VA background investigation requirements; must be eligible for VA system access.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States; this position does not offer visa sponsorship.
• Demonstrated expertise in MS Project for schedule development, maintenance, and integration, including experience building and managing schedules with resource loading, critical path analysis, and baseline comparisons.
