## 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
- Experience scoping, structuring, or managing complex multi-party engagements — whether that's a consulting workstream, a product integration, a pilot program, or a partnership negotiation
- Strong analytical and structured thinking, comfortable building frameworks, business cases, and evaluation criteria from scratch with limited direction
- Genuine, provable interest in emerging technology — AI, digital assets/blockchain, quantum computing, or adjacent domains. This goes beyond staying current, you can hold an informed point of view
- Track record of operating cross-functionally across Legal, Risk, Compliance, IT, and business stakeholders to move complex initiatives forward
- Excellent written and verbal communication, you can write a tight executive brief and hold the room in a C-suite meeting
