- Experience using AI-assisted tools (e.g. policy drafting aids, data analysis tools) to increase the quality and speed of your work and working with revenue teams and understanding business metrics/KPIs.
- Excellent judgment and critical thinking skills: you can assess numerous inputs, weigh tradeoffs, manage ambiguity, ask thought-provoking questions, and make difficult decisions.
- A stellar communicator who acts autonomously, is comfortable crafting complex written communication and has strong verbal communication. Can engage effectively with stakeholders from junior to executive levels.
- Experience handling sensitive escalations with ability to independently analyze data from multiple sources to draw appropriate conclusions and make suitable recommendations.
