• Customer-Centric Approach: The ability to interpret customer needs, assess comprehensive requirements, and devise both standard and non-standard solutions is a must. You should be comfortable explaining complex technical concepts to a variety of audiences.
• Design and Proposal Experience: While an advantage, experience in creating high-quality technical designs, customer-facing proposals, and detailed cost models will significantly strengthen your application.
• Transformation and Thought Leadership: Experience in leading transition and transformation initiatives for major clients seeking cost reduction, risk mitigation, and improved customer experience is highly desirable.
