You will be supported by and collaborate with the contracts administration team, operations team, procurement team, and internal and external legal resources as needed.

Team Development: As a senior team member, you will be called upon to mentor junior members, to share freely and to document knowledge for the good of the team and the customer, to design and implement process improvements for the team's benefit, and to participate, with your boss and other Program Managers, in the general management of the CAPEX team.
