  • Strong communication and presentation skills, including clear articulation of rationale and trade-offs.
  • A collaborative, low-ego partner - you facilitate alignment, clarify trade-offs, and drive confident execution.

  • Advocate for customer needs in trade-offs, sequencing, and cross-functional decision-making.
