• Experience designing scalable R-based processes for modelling workflows
• Familiarity with deploying models or analytical workflows into production environments
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to translate complex statistical concepts into clear, practical guidance
• Strong stakeholder engagement and advisory mindset
