• Strong analytical skills and the ability to troubleshoot technical issues methodically.
• Clear communication style with both technical teams and business stakeholders.
• Experience working directly with customers, internal partners, or cross-functional delivery teams.
• Fluent English and Mandarin language skills are mandatory for this role, given the customer focus across China and Asia.
