liaises
Acts as intermediary
Liaises means serves as a link or go-between, facilitating communication and cooperation between groups or individuals.
The word implies ongoing coordination rather than a single introduction: She liaises with the marketing team on campaign strategy.
Primarily British in flavor, though used internationally in formal and professional contexts.
