The TPL combines senior-level business systems analysis with hands-on delivery coordination to translate priorities into executable plans and ensure engineering, architecture, environment, security, and operational activities are aligned to deliver high-quality outcomes. The TPL works closely with USPS leadership to provide transparent status, drive decisions and approvals, coordinate priorities, and ensure required software/hardware/tooling needs are defined early so they can be procured through USPS channels. This role leads through influence, not direct people management. MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT : Provide end-to-end delivery leadership for an assigned application team by coordinating work across USPS and vendor resources (BSA(s), engineers, architects, environment leads, and other support functions) without direct supervisory authority. Translate business objectives into delivery execution: drive scope clarity, sequencing, milestones, and deliverable commitments in partnership with USPS leadership and stakeholders. Lead cross-functional planning and dependency management across teams (integrations, environments, security/network reviews, release coordination, vendor/supplier timelines). Provide consistent status reporting to USPS leadership, including progress, risks/issues, decisions needed, dependencies, and mitigation plans; ensure actions are tracked to closure. Coordinate priorities and capacity: ensure there is a steady pipeline of “ready” work, align work assignments with technical leads, and maintain delivery flow so team capacity is effectively utilized. Support ROM estimates and planning by coordinating inputs from engineering/architecture; document assumptions, constraints, dependencies, and risks. Partner with USPS leadership to support funding/approval activities by providing required delivery inputs (scope, sequencing, timeline, risks, resource assumptions). Coordinate release/deployment readiness: environment readiness, change approvals, cutover planning, validation steps, communications, and post-release stabilization. Support production operations and critical incidents by coordinating participation, facilitating communications, documenting impact/timeline, and ensuring corrective actions are prioritized and completed. Identify required software, hardware, tooling, and supplier services; define technical requirements and timelines so USPS leadership can procure and represent USPS for postal business needs. Drive continuous improvement across delivery execution, documentation, quality, automation, and operational readiness.
