• The ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A pragmatic, collaborative approach with the ability to balance technical excellence with business outcomes.
• Relevant cloud or architecture certifications, such as TOGAF, are advantageous but not essential.
