• Experience in cross‑functional, applied, or international projects—advantageous if your expertise has been used in real‑world or consulting contexts.
• Ability to write clearly and professionally, explaining complex tasks in simple, structured language.
• Ability to analyze and synthesize information from multiple sources and turn it into accurate, coherent outputs.
• Creativity in designing realistic and engaging examples, cases, or workflows based on your domain knowledge.
