- Define and prioritize requirements that meet operational, regulatory, and analytical standards.

- Track delivery against clear, business language measures of success and report progress to stakeholders on a regular cadence.

- Stakeholder influence: Build trust quickly with engineering, operations, compliance, and senior leaders.
- AI era mindset: Actively look for opportunities to use AI and automation to replace manual checks.
- Communication: Write clearly and concisely; user stories are specific; product briefs leave no room for ambiguity.
