The ideal candidate will act as a bridge between the client and the offshore delivery team, taking full accountability for outcomes, timelines, quality, and client satisfaction.

- Provide structured status updates to the client and internal stakeholders.
- Raise risks, delays, and dependencies at an early stage.
- Ensure the client does not have to repeatedly chase for updates or corrections.
