This role is ideal for someone with strong communication, narrative structuring, and slide-building skills—whether gained through consulting, product strategy, program management, or in-house strategy/ops roles. The ideal candidate understands how to translate engineering initiatives, metrics, and concepts into compelling stories that resonate with executive leadership, cross-functional partners, and the broader organization.
