• Proven ability to partner with senior client stakeholders and manage high‑visibility initiatives
• Deep experience with Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, hybrid models) and the ability to adapt them to real‑world constraints
• Strong communication, facilitation, and organizational skills, with the ability to translate between business and technical contexts
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern DevOps practices is a plus
