Project Analyst

About Lucayan Technology Solutions LLC

Lucayan Technology Solutions LLC is a Tampa-based federal IT and professional services prime contractor. We are SBA 8(a) certified, service-disabled veteran-owned and HUBZone certified, and we deliver for Department of Defense and civilian agency customers. Our PMO keeps every contract on schedule, compliant and on the record. 

About the role

The Project Analyst supports the PMO by tracking deliverables, schedules and risks across several government contracts at once. You are the person who knows what is due, who owns it, and where it stands. You work with program managers, delivery staff, subcontractors, finance and government customers, and you turn what you learn into clear status reports and clean contract files.

What you'll do

• Track contract deliverables, milestones, action items and risks for assigned contracts, and keep the trackers current.
• Prepare monthly status reports, briefings, meeting materials and other customer deliverables, and make sure they are accurate and on time.

• Coordinate with program managers, delivery staff, subcontractors and government points of contact to close open actions.

• Support subcontract administration: statements of work, purchase requests, subcontractor documentation and onboarding paperwork.

• Keep contract documentation organized and audit-ready, including modifications, correspondence and records of what the contract requires.

• Work with Finance on invoicing inputs, timesheet and charge-code questions, and contract-level cost and profit reporting.

• Keep contract records current in our business systems and SharePoint.
• Flag schedule, staffing or compliance risks early and recommend a fix.
