  • Strong understanding of engineering teams, technical organizations, and how product and infrastructure teams operate.

  • Proven ability to manage complex schedules and priorities in high-growth, fast-moving environments.

  • Excellent communication skills and comfort working with highly technical stakeholders.

  • High attention to detail, discretion, and professionalism when handling sensitive information.
