• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, an aptitude for translating the needs of non-technical systems users into technical requirements, and the judgment to exercise a high level of discretion with confidential information are also essential.
• Applicants with a knack for solving open-ended problems and seeing how small details interrelate to impact the bigger picture (i.
