  • Lead the Business Area's recognition and reward activities, partnering with the broader sector on larger programs to strengthen employee engagement and reinforce a positive workplace culture.
  • Demonstrate sound judgment, critical thinking and decisive action while collaborating across teams, engaging with internal customers, and helping advance the mission.
  • Build strong customer relationships and ensure the highest quality of service.
