Relationship & Escalation Liaison

·         Serve as the day-to-day administrative point of contact on IDSP program operations.

·         Route incoming requests, questions, and issues to the appropriate Rocket owner, and track each through to resolution.

·         Maintain working knowledge of the services being delivered under IDSP and the commitments both parties have made to support informed, accurate communication.

·         Support the Sr. Manager, IDSP Project Delivery in preparing for program reviews with current contract, utilization, and compliance status.

Core Competencies

·         High attention to detail and a strong commitment to data accuracy across contract, resource, and utilization records.

·         Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple recurring tracking and reporting cycles at once.

·         Clear, professional written and verbal communication, including with external partner contacts.

·         Sound judgment about when to resolve an issue directly and when to escalate it to the right owner.

·         Comfortable working within defined processes and holding both internal teams and an external partner to them.

·         Working knowledge of resource utilization and billing mechanics under fixed-fee, named-resource, or time-and-materials engagement models is a plus.

·         Basic understanding of contract administration concepts, including statements of work, amendments, and purchase or transaction orders, is a plus.

·         Maintain regular communication with Customer Solutions Engineering PMO management on contract, utilization, and compliance status.
