- Demonstrated success driving cross‑org adoption/migrations with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
- Experience building systems with scale, performance, and data privacy, compliance, and governance requirements.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to define crisp technical vision, align teams, and influence without authority.

- Experience with identity/user/account modeling at scale (individual + business entities, relationships, permissions, authentication and authorization concepts).
- Familiarity with data governance practices (cataloging, lineage, auditing, policy enforcement) and partnership with data platform and infrastructure teams.
- Experience partnering closely with Trust, Risk, Compliance, or Tax organizations, or understanding about compliance, data auditing, and data governance requirements in these domains.
