  • Evaluate international programs based on performance metrics and agreed upon goals and objectives

  • Bachelor’s degree in any field with at least 6 years of relevant experience
  • Experience in external engagement triage/tracking, project management, strategy development
  • The demonstrated professionalism, maturity, sound judgement, and excellent communication and interpersonal skills necessary for daily interactions with executive-level audiences in a dynamic, high-visibility support office environment
  • Ability to work independently or in a team setting as circumstances dictate
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain a Publlic Trust US Government Clearance.
