Support the implementation of Internal Customer Relationship Management process. Leverage knowledge from within PTQS to analyze customer interactions and develop a model for managing interactions between Computer Systems Quality and Informatics.

Currently Informatics performs many activities which we rely upon to ensure the Right-To-Operate. Some of these activities directly support documented requirements for compliance while others do so less directly. Activities vary with complexity and so do the means and ways we interact with each other. Increased variability due to complexity results in less than optimal outcomes. A model for more predictable collaboration, interaction, and participation will improve efficiency, alignment, and customer relationships. An analysis of customer groups and interactions will need to be performed and conveyed via diagrams/charts. The diagrams and or charts will be used to understand the relationships in order to build a governance model for interactions. The governance model will need to minimally include a common understanding of agreed upon customer relationship, basic, concise overarching needs or expectations, and the foundation for: timely communication, appropriate involvement, proper engagement, performance measurement via tool, and decision making pathways.

Key stakeholders will need to be identified. The governance model will be built with customer collaboration. As intern you will be responsible for coordination and scheduling of activities pertaining to the delivery of a governance model, customer relationship mapping/diagrams/charts, and a performance Indicator tool. This means one of the first items after orientation will be to understand the project and then start working on a timeline with actions and planned dates. Your responsibilities will also include gathering knowledge from PTQS SME experts in order to understand best methods for mapping customer relationships. Working together with PTQS and customer to complete the mapping/diagrams/charts. You will need to research performance tools available inside the company and externally and are responsible for providing a list of optional tools and a comparison of benefits for each tool based on the expected use. As intern you will draft a governance model framework as defined by the sponsor, which will subsequently be collaboratively detailed by the customers. You will be responsible for communication and follow up actions with stakeholders.

Strong communication, presentation and organizational skills are necessary.
