• Commercially aware: You recognize retention, renewal, expansion, and advocacy opportunities while maintaining a trusted-advisor approach.
• A confident communicator: You adapt your communication to researchers, librarians, research-office leaders, senior administrators, and policy stakeholders.
• Collaborative and adaptable: You work effectively across functions and cultures and adjust your approach to different Southeast Asian markets.
