● Process improvement: Identify workflow inefficiencies, propose solutions, and drive implementation end-to-end with strong ownership.
● Project management: Independently scope, sequence, and deliver technical projects.
● Enablement/Team management: Guide or mentor junior team members on technical execution, and act as the go-to resource for AI/automation capability across the org
