What they're looking for
- Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical concepts into business value for executive, non-technical audiences — you've done this in client-facing, stakeholder, or advisory contexts, not just internally

- Excellent written and verbal communication, you can write a tight executive brief and hold the room in a C-suite meeting
