• A customer-first approach demonstrated through clear communication, thoughtful preparation, and the ability to create a positive, low-friction participation experience.
• Strong program management, prioritization, and judgment skills, including the ability to manage timelines, resources, approvals, and competing priorities.
• Practical experience building or automating AI-enabled tools and workflows that improve efficiency, quality, or insight generation.
