• Strong facilitation skills across multiple organizational levels; skilled in alignment, decisioning, and conflict navigation
• Ability to influence, remove obstacles, and motivate people without direct authority (servant leadership)
• Executive-ready communication with crisp written updates, risk framing, and escalation judgment

• Metrics-driven improvement: uses flow/predictability/quality signals to diagnose system issues and drive measurable change
• Hands-on Jira expertise, including strong JQL proficiency
• Hands-on proficiency with Jira Software Plans (Advanced Roadmaps)
