  • Skills and Experience

  • Proven experience managing external vendors, including monitoring performance, ensuring contract compliance, and maintaining service level expectations.
  • Strong negotiation skills with the ability to hold vendors accountable and drive continuous service improvements.
  • Skilled at building and maintaining effective relationships with internal teams and external partners to ensure alignment and collaboration.
