· High integrity and discretion when handling sensitive and confidential information.

· Organized, adaptable, and able to manage multiple priorities with strong follow-through.

· Continuous-improvement mindset (process mapping, standard work, root-cause analysis) and comfort using basic metrics to measure impact.
