• Analytical capability to spot trends, patterns, and operational improvement opportunities or risks using data, dashboards, or basic SQL/analytics tooling
• Track record in FMEA and driving structured mitigation plans
• Experience producing high‑quality operational artifacts, including workflows, SOPs, checklists or customer journeys
• Ability to communicate the operational impact of design decisions clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Background working within regulated or compliance‑conscious industries (insurance, banking, payments, travel, healthcare) is highly regarded
• Familiarity with cross‑functional program delivery models (agile, scaled agile, phased delivery, or similar norms in SaaS/tech/insurance delivery)
• Degree in engineering, business, analytics, or operations discipline beneficial but not essential

What You Will Have

• Strong leadership through influence, planning discipline and operational judgement
