Clearance

What We're Looking For (Soft Skills)

• Technical storyteller: Translates complex solutions into compelling narratives
• Win-focused: Understands that differentiation-not compliance alone-wins
• Calm under pressure: Delivers quality work during proposal crunch time
• Collaborative: Works seamlessly with BD, delivery teams, and SMEs
• Client-facing polish: Confident in orals, executive briefings, and customer meetings
• Pragmatic innovator: Designs solutions that are executable, not theoretical
