Manage and prioritize competing technical priorities in a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment. 
• Operational Readiness: Translate high-level operational requirements and performance targets into field-tested deployment blueprints, ensuring maximum mission readiness and system validation in relevant environments.
• Feedback Loop & Iteration: Gather client feature requests and field observations to drive rapid, iterative system enhancements with engineering teams. Support the integration of Two Six Technology solutions into broader Non-Kinetic capabilities and programs.
• Metrics & Technical Validation: Establish, measure, and track rigorous customer satisfaction and system performance metrics during pilot phases to prove technical efficacy.
• Strategic Briefings & Project Management: Perform core project management functions including identification, scheduling, tracking, and reporting for client engagements. Develop technical documentation and deliver compelling project briefings and system demonstrations to diverse government and non-government stakeholders.
