• Strong alignment between business priorities and technical delivery

• Experience delivering solutions using low-code platforms such as Copilot Studio or Power Automate

• Familiarity with development workflows and tools such as GitHub

• Ability to work with engineering teams to integrate and deploy AI solutions, translating requirements into implementable designs

• Experience working in distributed delivery environments, including collaboration with offshore development teams

Skills

• Strong stakeholder engagement and facilitation

Mindset

• Pragmatic and delivery-focused, with a bias for action
