  • Negotiate, prepare and draft complex, high-value leases while minimizing transaction costs
  • Develop and update policies, standards, models and programs to support your unit’s strategic projects and initiatives
  • Develop budgets and schedules for major projects and monitor them closely
  • Represent your unit before decision-making bodies and external partners
