+ You must be comfortable operating with high levels of ambiguity, you must have the ability to be bold, bring clarity and build confidence in our understanding of each opportunity
+ Your experience will enable you to tap into your innate knowledge to rapidly qualify opportunities and provide a view on complexity, opportunity size and risk
+ You must be able to unravel business ideas and get to the root of real business value to help our technical architects and business consultants create solutions that will excite our clients
