• Help a core tech team systematically and tactically unblock policy and process blockers

• Navigate a complex government stakeholder landscape to get buy-in from senior management, and drive adoption of innovative HR approaches on the ground

• Take on stretch assignments that leverage the team's integrated approach to solve previously intractable HR challenges
