• Operate with significant autonomy - identify gaps, propose solutions, and execute without a predefined playbook

• Flex across programs as priorities shift, applying the same core skill set to different levels of ambiguity and structure

Qualification:

• Bachelor's degree preferred (any field); higher education experience as a student or employee is a plus.

• 5-8 years of experience in business process, governance, compliance, IT business analysis, or a related field.

• Equivalent professional experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
