  • Strong contract management, stakeholder engagement, and commercial acumen.
  • Knowledge of risk management, governance, and regulatory compliance frameworks.
  • Exceptional leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret Level II Security Clearance.
