**Description**

The Associate Director role within Full-Service Commercial (FSC) is responsible for managing the overall solution development process and ensuring there is integration both within and across functions and business units.

The Associate Director must be comfortable communicating directly with clients and translating their stated and unstated asks into direction for how the FSC Design team will respond. Once a solution has been sold (i.e. awarded) the Associate Director works to transition to the Delivery team who is then responsible for executing on the solution.

- Participate in virtual and live client presentations, while actively listening to document any follow-up actions.
