• Good client communication skills are essential. They will be the main technical point of contact for customers, so they need to explain things clearly, manage expectations, handle questions or issues, and build strong working relationships with clients.
• Experience working with processes, rules, and compliance is important. They should be used to following standard operating procedures, working in regulated environments, and making sure projects meet required standards, without losing sight of efficiency and value.
• They must be comfortable with documentation and attention to detail. Reviewing, approving, and maintaining system documentation, managing change control, and making sure releases meet quality expectations are all key parts of the job.
