• Manage individual program(s) through to completion;
• Develop and guide a world-class program management team;
• Operate efficiently across a range of programs complexities/scales and across both commercial and government customers;
• Interface with customers and potential customers;
• Work all phases of programs, from initial scoping and proposal through delivery and operations;
• Develop and negotiate statements of work. Negotiate master services agreements with key vendors.

What you bring:
