• Are familiar with cloud platforms, SaaS, COTS, system integration, the software development life cycle and digital transformation projects.
• Are skilled in stakeholder engagement at all levels, with excellent communication and leadership skills.
• Bring strong risk management skills and sound financial acumen to guide successful project outcomes.
• Can evaluate a customer’s business goals and strategic objectives, and translate them into compelling proposals supported by detailed delivery plans
• Enjoy solving problems, multitasking, and driving continuous improvement.
• Demonstrate curiosity, a collaborative spirit and a proactive mindset!
