• Ability to structure ambiguous problems, set priorities, and turn them into clear action plans.
• A proactive and ownership‑driven mindset with a strong focus on execution and follow‑through.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on execution.
• Ability to work comfortably in a fast‑moving technology environment where priorities and organizational needs evolve.
• Ability to work and communicate effectively in English.
