  • Comfort working without direct authority while influencing outcomes through collaboration and accountability.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to present complex topics clearly to senior leaders.
  • Strong organization, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to develop concise executive updates and visually clear presentation materials.
  • Experience using Jira, Microsoft 365, and related collaboration tools.
