Coordinate with support functions and funding activities
  • Structure interactions with Legal and Purchasing (contracts, suppliers, procurement)
  • Support identification of funding opportunities (grants, subsidies) and application processes
  • Ensure these activities are anticipated and integrated into project planning

  • Prepare the department for certification (documentation, audits)
