  • Work effectively with both technical and non-technical teams, demonstrating strong technical curiosity and a willingness to understand products, integrations, and solution design.
  • Facilitate workshops, planning sessions, and project reviews to keep delivery on track.
  • Continuously improve project delivery processes, tools, and ways of working
