* Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work autonomously in a hybrid environment.
* The ability to lead a team in alignment with the Operational Strategy and the guidance of senior management.
* A proactive, analytical approach, with the capacity to work through ambiguity and solve complex issues independently.
