You know how navigate a matrix environment, building relationships through collaboration and how to prioritize competing interests and requests. You are a supportive team player who views your role as helping and enabling your colleagues’ success, as much as securing support for your own. You are comfortable working directly with senior leaders, engaging in challenging conversations, delegating tasks and supporting team members and contactors in accomplishing their deliverables.
