• Provide continuous scientific and technical support during program execution, proactively identify potential issues, and propose constructive solutions.
• Maintain timely communication with clients and key internal contributors across functions/business units via email, teleconferences, Zoom meetings, and/or site visits to ensure smooth program execution.
