• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage high-impact projects independently.
• Technical proficiency in system administration, integrations, access controls, and performance monitoring.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical issues for non-technical audiences.
• A detail-oriented, process-driven mindset with proven ability to prioritize and execute in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong collaboration skills with ability to work cross-functionally in a regulated environment.
