- Proven track record of delivering custom-built software and data solutions (not just SaaS deployments) with measurable business impact.
- Hands-on experience working with or deploying AI, machine learning, or advanced analytics solutions, with the ability to translate between technical and business stakeholders.

- Familiarity with cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), CI/CD pipelines, and modern software development practices.
- Proficiency in project management methodologies and tools (Agile, Kanban, Jira, Asana, etc.), with the judgment to adapt process to the situation.
- Excellent communication, facilitation, and problem-solving skills with the proven ability to distill complexity, surface risks, and drive clear decision-making.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations or Critical Industries (Environmental).
- High emotional intelligence and collaborative mindset.
- Passion for client success and positive climate impact.
- Enjoy celebrating others’ success and contributing to a supportive, fun environment.
