• Build and maintain long-term relationships with customers and other external parties
• Establish effective project structures, communication channels, and workflows
• Support technical functions in requirement management and documentation
• Ensure technical requirements are communicated and understood both internally and externally
• Contribute project perspective and requirement understanding during the quotation and contract phase
