Qualifications:

  • Strong technical skills with Microsoft 365 tools (e.g., Power Automate, Excel scripting) and other leading productivity tools (e.g Notion, project management software).
  • Experience developing or implementing AI-enabled tools or smart automations for professional needs.
  • Strong interpersonal and cross-cultural communication skills (written and verbal) to engage diverse global stakeholders, gather feedback across regions and functions, and drive adoption of new processes and tools.
  • Demonstrated ability to design, maintain, and optimize systems to meet current and evolving organizational needs.
  • Excellent organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and a proven ability to manage multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
