  • Participate in the identification, development, and implementation of new products and services.
  • Responsible for ensuring that project designs are well-conceived, well-designed, and that risks for failure are mitigated to the fullest extent possible.
  • Ensure that the possibility of success is fully and effectively articulated to the customer, that the customer’s needs (regarding deliverables, timeline and budget) are addressed, and that their expectations are likewise aligned.
  • Holding a “gate keeper” function to ensure that customer proposals/requests are declined when appropriate and justified on the grounds of our capabilities and possibility of success.

Who You Are
