  • Proven ability to build relationships and collaborate with stakeholders at various levels
  • Strong time management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines
  • Effective communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
