Program Audit Liaison (Non-Financial)

Company Overview Pantheon Data (a Kenific Holding company) is a private, small business based in the Washington, DC, area. Pantheon Data was founded in 2011, initially providing acquisition and supply chain management services to the US Coast Guard. Our service offerings have grown in the past ten years, including infrastructure resiliency, contact center operations, information technology, software engineering, program management, strategic communications, engineering, and cybersecurity. We have also grown our customer base to include commercial clients. The company has used this experience to expand our service offerings to other agencies within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DoD), and other Federal Civilian Agencies. Position Overview We are seeking a Program Audit Liaison to serve as the client's front door for incoming audit and review requests. Audit requests arrive from the Defense Audit Office, the DoD Inspector General, the Naval Audit Service, the Government Accountability Office, and comparable review bodies. Each audit has its own scope, its own set of the right people to answer it, and its own clock. Without a single point of intake, requests scatter, deadlines surface late, and the same question can draw different answers from different offices. This role is the single point where those requests come in and the single place where their status is known. You receive the request, read it closely enough to understand what is being asked, route it to the right point of contact, and then stay with it through to closure. You hold the tracker, you run the recurring status, and you are the person who can answer "where does that one stand" without going to look. The judgment is the job. Some requests you own and close. Some need to be in front of a senior leader the same day for input, review, and submission. Knowing which is which, and being right about it, is what this role requires. The work is administrative and analytical rather than financial. You are not performing or auditing financial statements. You are making sure the right people see the right request in time to answer it well. Responsibilities Receive and route Serve as the initial point of receipt for audit, review, and data call requests directed to the client organization. Analyze incoming request, identify what is being asked, and determine the offices and action officers who can answer. Route requests to the correct point of contact with a clear statement of what is needed and by when. Acknowledge receipt to the requesting body and establish the point of contact relationship early. Identify requests that overlap with earlier or ongoing responses and connect them, enabling consistent answers from the organization. Track to completion Maintain a single authoritative tracker covering every open request: requesting body, scope, assigned office, interim milestones, due date, and current status. Manage multiple independent timelines simultaneously. Each request carries its own clock, and most don't align. Drive interim milestones rather than due dates. Build back from the deadline and check in against the plan, not the calendar. Follow each request through submission, follow-on questions, and formal closure. Produce recurring status reporting for senior leadership and be able to answer the status of any open item on request. Exercise judgment Distinguish requests you can own and those that need senior attention, and act on that distinction without being told. Elevate early, with a recommendation attached. Bring the issue, the options, and your recommendation on sensitive and high-stake audits. Recognize sensitivity in an incoming request, such as scope creep, an unusual data ask, a line of inquiry with broader implications, and flag it to leadership before the response is built. Identify where a request is unclear or overly broad, and work with the requesting body to scope it before the organization spends effort on the wr…
