　　The candidate must possess the necessary skills to communicate with vendors regarding service performance and track results against members of their cohort.

　　Manage internal partners and adjust to multiple demands, shifting priorities, ambiguity, and rapid change. The person will liaise with teams in finance and CDN operations to facilitate fundamental tradeoffs of performance and quality.
