• Exceptional negotiation, conflict resolution, and interpersonal communication skills
• Ability to sustain momentum in complex, cross-functional environments
• Strong judgment in balancing transparency, relationships, and execution discipline
• Experience working across global business and technology stakeholders
• Strong preference for experience in Finance and Accounting business processes, BPOs, or global business/shared service centers
• Self-directed, positive, motivated and ethical role model able to work with minimal supervision
• Demonstrated ability to solve practical problems and deal with a variety of concrete variables in situations where only limited standardization exists
