  • Managing projects, mentoring, and leading junior staff through day-to-day puzzles.
  • Working with long-time, established clients to ensure their expectations are met, as well as forging new relationships and creating new pathways for business development.
  • Leading the development of competitive proposals to secure new assignments.
