Who you are
- Proactive — you suggest improvements and work ahead of problems, removing risks before they become incidents
- Calm under pressure, able to juggle multiple complex tasks with a clear head
- A team player who takes ownership and is accountable for their area of responsibility
- Eager to learn and grow to support both current and new products
