- The ability to define goals, build a strategic roadmap, create clarity, and organizational engagement around this

- A curious mindset and a positive attitude towards problem-solving. You aim for something better and question what we take for granted

- Experience working on both an operational and a strategic level

- A general interest in technology and systems, understanding that tech plays a key role in the way forward
