- Experience with cloud-based technologies and modern data tools (e.g., Databricks, Looker, Redshift).
- Strong communication and influencing skills, with a track record of engaging senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
- Strategic thinker who can move between high-level planning and execution as needed.
- Commercially focused, with a clear view of how data drives value across the business.
