• Experience with ITIL incident, problem, and change management in ServiceNow, and with Jira

• Calm, decisive, and clear during incidents

• Ability to influence without authority, both internally and with an external vendor

• Excellent written and presentation skills for executive and client audiences

• Uses data to make decisions and pushes for root-cause fixes over workarounds

• Proven record of building repeatable processes, governance, and operating rhythms from scratch
