• Help document root-cause patterns across accounts (e.g., change order management, approval workflows, schedule risk) to support playbook development
• Support technology risk tracking for go-lives and stabilization periods under senior guidance

Cross-Functional Technology Partnership

• Work closely with the Center of Excellence and the Director, Product Management – Data Center Technology & Robotics to build fluency in current and planned product capability
• Help capture and relay client and market signal into the product roadmap process

• Ability to translate technical concepts into clear, client-friendly materials
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable supporting meetings with account and client stakeholders
• Eagerness to be mentored and to grow into an independent client-facing advisory role

• Prior internship, rotational, or early-career experience supporting product management or product owner functions
• Exposure to RFP response processes or technology-led sales pursuits

• A collaborative, coachable approach to working closely with a senior mentor and cross-functional teams
• Reliability and follow-through in supporting fast-moving client and account priorities
