  • Strong technical skills with prior ETRM system experience required; experience in a Business Analyst, Product Owner, or Project Management capacity preferred.

  • Familiarity with Agile project management methodologies and product model approaches.

  • Demonstrated track record of ownership, accountability, and delivery on complex, cross-functional initiatives.

  • Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail and a controls-oriented approach.

  • Proven ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic, and high-intensity environment with timely responsiveness and flexibility to work beyond normal business hours when required.
