* Stay close to technology aspects of the program; Able to communicate with executives in-depth on technical considerations

* Comfortable working with external partners (consultancies, integrators, offshore teams)
* Strong facilitator, able to manage full-day workshops, drive alignment, and hold stakeholders accountable
* Independent mindset - able to work as a consultant and act in the best interest of the client
* Proven ability to lead large, complex programs with multiple parallel workstreams
