- Familiarity with business architecture frameworks or methodologies (e.g., Lean Six Sigma, BPMN, TOGAF) to formalize and optimize processes.
- Hands-on experience with enterprise systems like Workday, SAP, Coupa, or ServiceNow, especially in the context of process automation or system integration.
