  • Lead complex deal pursuits from identification through award, structuring agreements across diverse international procurement frameworks
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams - product, engineering, legal, and contracts - to develop winning proposals and RFP responses
  • Ensure all engagements adhere to applicable acquisition regulations, export controls, and compliance requirements
