- Manage relationships with subcontractors and vendors, including performance monitoring, quality assurance, and ensuring deliverables align with program objectives, timelines, and budget constraints.
- Cross-Functional Coordination: Coordinate across internal teams to manage tasks, schedules, and IT resources, ensuring release dates are met and production issues are resolved by tracking root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
