The Business Relationship Manager (BRM) position will proactively serve as integral liaison between Mission Systems Portfolio leadership and the Program Work Environment (PWE) Value Stream to manage growing demand for secure, closed area PWEs and cross-site connectivity across our Mission Systems business.
