  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, business-friendly language
  • Strong organizational skills with consistent follow-through
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving technical environment
  • Able to ask the right questions to uncover risks, dependencies, and constraints
  • Working understanding of AI and machine learning concepts, including large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), workflow automation, data pipelines, and system integrations
  • Ability to reason about data quality, structure, privacy, and security considerations
  • Comfortable reviewing high-level system architectures, solution diagrams, and workflows
  • Not responsible for coding, but able to collaborate effectively with senior engineers
Education & Experience
  • Background in consulting, solutions engineering, technical product management, pre-sales, or similar roles
  • Experience supporting custom software or AI solution delivery environments
