• Proficiency with process mapping and analysis tools (e.g., Blueworks Live, Visio) and familiarity with automation technologies (RPA) and data transformation techniques to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to manage conflicting data, influence stakeholders, and translate insights into actionable business improvements.
