  • Ongoing and Post-Execution Risk Management and Contracting Support
  • Assist with ongoing contracting, risk management, and mitigation support for ongoing contracting requirements - SOWs, Change Orders, amendments, and renewals.
  • Facilitate continued compliance with contractually required policies and processes, non-standard obligations and restrictions, and with the Firm's internal policies.
  • Provide coaching, guidance, and mitigation suggestions through the engagement lifecycle to Business leaders on critical risk and quality issues.
  • Knowledge Management and Training Support
