            We should not include Schedule. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We omitted. Check that we preserved all substantive info: intro, responsibilities details, requirements, qualifications, benefits, pay. Did we miss any? The "Additional Responsibilities Tasks and assignments related to PMO function and/or Jefferson Laboratory project management capabilities and culture as assigned by the PMO Director." We didn't include that as a bullet. Should add as a responsibility bullet. Also we missed "Supporting the Project Assurance Officer, the Lead helps maintain EVMS certification, assists with preparation for DOE OPA and Director's reviews, and to ensure compliance with DOE and contractual requirements." Already in responsibilities bullet maybe. We need to ensure we captured all responsibility bullets. Let's list responsibility bullets from text: - Develop and maintain PMO functional area policies, procedures, and guidance (PPG) for key PMO disciplines, including risk management, quantitative analysis practices, Monte Carlo methodologies, and cost estimating standards. - Create, deliver, and maintain training and readiness programs for Control Account Managers (CAMs) and Project Controls Analysts (PCAs), including instructional materials, competency assessments, and evaluations of training effectiveness. - Design and implement a data‑driven PMO self‑assessment program that uses risk models, cost metrics, EVMS performance data, and Monte Carlo outputs to assess maturity, compliance, and effectiveness across PMO functional areas. - Evaluate PM systems and tools for utilization, compliance, and effectiveness; recommend improvements to ensure alignment with DOE O 413.3B and best‑practice project management methodologies. - Support projects and the Project Assurance Officer by conducting cost and risk analyses for DOE Independent Project Reviews, enhancing PARS reporting and performance evaluation accuracy, and preparing analytic inputs for Director’s Reviews. - Lead operations and provide hands-on project support as assigned by the PMO Director, including coaching project teams, performing technical analyses, and contributing specialized expertise on risk, cost, EVMS, and PM systems. - Additional Responsibilities: Tasks and assignments related to PMO function and/or Jefferson Laboratory project management capabilities and culture as assigned by the PMO Director. - Also earlier: The PMO Policy and Assurance Program Lead strengthens Jefferson Lab's project management culture by developing, maintaining, and assessing procedures for core PMO functional program areas, including: Project Risk Management, Earned Value Management System/PARS, Project Cost Estimating, Project Management Systems and Tools, and Training and Development.
