Liaise with Prime Developer leadership to maximize information flow with Government leadership. Communicate Government priorities and concerns to Developers. Respond to help needed requests from Developers to cultivate win-win relationships.
Foster communication and alignment among team members to identify challenges and corresponding solutions.
