• Identify and communicate opportunities to help improve project delivery performance and efficiency across the team
• Work closely with sales to support the growth of new business and existing clients by providing feedback on overall project performance, pricing guidance, input into sales conversations and proposals, and new opportunities to meet or exceed customer needs

• Take ownership of problematic situations and provide recommendations to address and resolve problems
