• Ability to translate technical findings into clear, actionable guidance for non-technical stakeholders
• Strong written and verbal communication skills suitable for direct Government customer interaction
• Ability to mentor and provide technical direction to junior team members
• Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy in a small, embedded team environment
