communication and stakeholder-management skills
, with confidence liaising across engineering, project, and compliance functions. - Analytical and methodical, with the ability to identify risks, dependencies, and compliance impacts early in the project cycle.
- Experience collaborating with
multi-brand or international engineering teams
is highly desirable.
What You'll Bring
- A structured, detail-driven approach with the ability to manage multiple compliance topics simultaneously.
- Strong technical understanding of
vehicle systems
