You are: a solver of puzzles, a meaning maker. You can bring together data from multiple sources and in multiple formats, and build visuals and documentation that concisely and accurately describe business processes, requirements, and gaps in a way a number of partners can easily understand. You can make sense of complex ideas and problems, and help others to do so as well, through facilitation, communication, and follow-through. You work well with a team and perform well under pressure. You lead by example and understand the value of developing and managing relationships with partners.

• Collaborate with project and change managers to drive the appropriate next steps for projects
