- Collaboration & Coordination: Facilitate workshops and whiteboard sessions with internal and external stakeholders to align system architecture and application design with the client’s operational goals.
- Product Expertise: Keep up-to-date with industry competitors and technological advancements, understanding how various systems like ticketing and AVL interlink to meet real-time passenger information needs.

- System Knowledge: Familiarity with public transport ticketing solutions (including EMV and tap-and-go systems), AVL, and back-office planning systems.
- Problem-Solving: Ability to work with both off-the-shelf solutions and bespoke modifications to meet unique customer needs.
- IT Proficiency: Solid foundational IT knowledge, especially around system architecture, though deep expertise in cloud or data analytics is not essential.
- Collaborative Approach: Ability to lead whiteboarding sessions and work across departments to create comprehensive and integrated solutions.
