  • Demonstrated ability to analyze technical and operational data, build metrics, and use them to drive decisions and track program and project health.
  • Experience working directly with technical teams (engineering, infrastructure, networking, etc.) to translate business requirements into actionable project plans.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
  • Excellent organizational skills with a high detail orientation and commitment to quality.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
