Hands-on experience with Workday or SAP (and an eagerness to learn and grow across both platforms)
Exceptional attention to detail, reliability, and a structured, solution-oriented mindset
Excellent communication skills, genuine service orientation toward employees and stakeholders
Ability to work independently and as part of an international team
