  • Team Collaboration: Collaborate in a supportive team environment, ensuring team members have the resources needed to succeed.

  • Deep Technical Knowledge: Proficiency in complex data pipelines, understanding LLM interactions, and methodologies like outlier detection, clustering, and attribute selection and decoration.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Ability to translate complex technical topics into plain English for senior civil servants and non-technical users.
  • Relevant Certifications: Ideally certified in Architecture, Data, IT Operations, or Software Development.
  • Digital & Data Transformation: Proven experience in driving large-scale digital and data transformation initiatives.
