  • Strong writing, analytical, and problem-solving skills with an ability to multitask in a rapidly changing environment.
  • Ability to think creatively and work collaboratively with teams across the business to achieve desired outcomes.
  • Pragmatic, creative legal thinker with excellent judgment and a willingness to take on new responsibilities and challenges.
  • Genuine curiosity about the intersection of global trade, data, AI, and geopolitics
