- Certification in human-centered design, design thinking, service design, or a comparable discipline from a recognized program.
- Certification or formal training in business process mapping, Lean, Six Sigma, BPMN, business process management, or related continuous improvement methodologies.
- Experience leading organizational change initiatives tied to process redesign, service modernization, digital transformation, operating model change, or enterprise improvement efforts.

- Strong facilitation, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work effectively across executive leadership, program teams, frontline staff, policy owners, and technical teams.
- Ability to translate complex workflows, research findings, and operational issues into clear recommendations, visual artifacts, and implementation plans.
- Knowledge of accessibility, equity, and inclusive service delivery principles relevant to public sector environments.
- Ability to operate effectively in environments with multiple approval layers, competing priorities, policy constraints, and legacy systems common in government settings.
- Master’s degree in public administration, public policy, business administration, organizational leadership, systems design, or a related field.
- Experience supporting federal, state, county, municipal, or quasi-government agencies on service delivery, customer experience, business transformation, or operational improvement initiatives.

- Proficiency with tools such as Mural, Miro, Lucidchart, Visio, Figma, Microsoft 365, or similar platforms used for facilitation, process documentation, research synthesis, and collaboration.
