• Customer-Facing Experience: Mandatory background in technical consulting, customer-facing delivery, or solutions engineering within global, multi-cultural enterprise environments.

• Domain & Standards Expertise: Knowledge of GS1 standards, RFID infrastructure, and agile software development workflows.

• AI & Data Tools: Proficiency and knowledge in leveraging AI tools to enhance daily workflows, data transformation, and analysis.
