Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with internal stakeholders, legal department colleagues, and the Contracts Management team to bid, win, and manage complex contracts for system integrators, channel partners, and public sector customers, while assisting with commercial requests that have public sector touchpoints.
Post-Award Contract Management: Advise upper-level management and business units on post-award contract matters, including contract modifications, performance rights, and compliance obligations.
