  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail with a commitment to data accuracy and process consistency. 
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team-oriented environment. 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to translate technical issues into user-friendly language. 
  • Proficiency with productivity tools including Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and ticketing platforms like JIRA.
