- Solution-Focused & Proactive: A strong track record of identifying challenges and proactively bringing forward well-considered solutions, demonstrating foresight and initiative.
- Communication & Interpersonal Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex information clearly to technical and non-technical audiences. Proven ability to build strong rapport and effectively liaise with diverse production teams.
