• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to clearly articulate technical challenges, solutions, and recommendations.
• Ability to communicate confidently with clients, technical teams, and stakeholders.
• Strong ownership, problem‑solving skills, and ability to work independently.
• Experience leading technical initiatives from design through implementation.
