  • Ability to review documentation for completeness, consistency, control alignment, and evidence quality.
  • Ability to translate data, technology, and governance requirements into clear business language for senior stakeholders and cross-functional partners.
  • Demonstrated leadership capabilities, including ability to influence without direct authority, drive accountability, operate through ambiguity, and support governance routines with senior partners.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, organizational discipline, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities and dependencies.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Teams, and SharePoint.
