Skills & Experience • 8–12+ years in IT sourcing/procurement, with a strong track record in managed services and outsourcing agreements. • Experience negotiating with US-based providers in regulated environments. • Deep knowledge of CMMC, CUI, and ITAR/EAR requirements. • Hands-on experience with Microsoft GCC High and Azure Gov US licensing and support boundaries. • Strong contract governance acumen: KPIs, SLAs, service credits, audit rights, and reporting. • Assertive stakeholder management and confident negotiation style. • Excellent written deliverables: playbooks, term sheets, redlines, and executive summaries. • Fluent English required; French a plus.
