- Assisting with relationship management, including resolving commercial issues which will require partnership with technical, marketing and finance organizations (e.g. network, operations, revenue assurance, finance, marketing), including driving projects to completion.
- Identify contract improvements, simplifications and optimization opportunities to drive better outcomes, including contacting frameworks.
