Commitment to managing change in an understood and accepted way, working closely with non-technical stakeholders.
Above all else, you will have a humble, kind, friendly, and trustworthy personality, with excellent listening skills. The environment is extremely fast-moving, and you will need to be adaptable in your approach to delivering assigned projects. Sometimes, you will need to deliver difficult messages and manage conflict resolution, so strong stakeholder management skills are required.
