  • Ability to apply strong project and time management skills to manage multiple projects simultaneously with limited supervision in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.
  • Evidence of strong analytical, critical, and creative thinking and willingness to take initiative in problem-solving.
  • Proven ability to operate effectively in a complex and dynamic, matrixed environment.
  • Good verbal and written communication skills and proven ability to translate technical concepts into actionable recommendations.
