Engage and collaborate with stakeholders
Work with client stakeholders to gather requirements and align objectives.
Communicate findings clearly and professionally with team members and clients.
Support workshops, working sessions, and day-to-day client interactions.
Work in a global, flexible model
Operate in a hybrid environment, balancing client, home, and office-based work.
Travel as required to support client delivery and team collaboration.
What you bring
