The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Executive Liaison to provide senior-level administrative and operational support within Project Governance and Delivery organization, which includes the Corporate Functions Program Management Office (CFPMO) and Strategy, Planning & Delivery (SP&D).
