• Proven experience managing multiple vendors, including renewals, service-level oversight, and performance optimization
• Experience working with shared services or centralized operations teams (e.g., GPSC) to scale delivery and manage escalations
• Known for strong execution, problem-solving, and follow-through, with the ability to independently deliver across cross-functional stakeholders
