• Familiarity with AI and automation tools in support ecosystems, with the ability to critically assess vendor capabilities and identify true operational value.
• Proven ability to map complex workflows and translate ambiguous operational challenges into clear problem statements and prioritized solutions.
• Experience collaborating closely with product and engineering teams in agile environments, with the confidence to advocate for operational needs.
• Strong communication skills with experience presenting insights, trade-offs, and recommendations to senior leadership.
