• The consulting aspect of this role means that communication and interpersonal skills are critical. Ability to communicate complex subject matter effectively, prioritize findings, engage with clients, and deliver effective communication through various formats (i.e. PowerPoint presentations, phone, in-person meetings, email and spreadsheets).
• Project Management: Ability to prioritize demands, align resources with project deliverables, and communicate progress and expectations.
• Collaboration: Ability to share information internally, seek out knowledge, partner with stakeholders, and work cohesively across teams.

• Ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Self-motivated with a proactive approach to learning and continuous improvement.
