  • Strong influencing and communication skills; can effectively interface with both technical and commercial stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated comfort working in ambiguity, across multiple functions, adapting to shifting business priorities.
  • Ability to travel up to 10% to engage with global teams and drive AI pilot-to-scale governance initiatives.
