• Strong analytical and problem-structuring skills; able to turn ambiguity into clear options and recommendations.
• Proven experience creating executive-ready presentations and strategic narratives.
• Solid understanding of SaaS business models, go-to-market strategies, and cross-functional operating models.
• High level of ownership, reliability, and ability to operate independently in a fast-moving environment.
• Excellent communication skills and confidence working with senior stakeholders.
• Strong organizational and project management skills; able to manage multiple initiatives in parallel.
