- 8-10 years of experience in digital strategy, product management, transformation, management consulting, or similar roles.

What makes you stand out:
- Experience working closely with product managers, architects, and engineers to translate strategic goals into actionable plans with measurable outcomes.
- Ability to bridge business needs and technical solutions, ensuring designs are feasible and aligned with strategic priorities.
- Demonstrated expertise in leading initiatives involving emerging technologies such as AI/ML, cloud, and automation in a commercial context.
