• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work directly with a wide range of stakeholders to translate complex business requirements into actionable, user-driven technical solutions.
• Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
• Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
