Excellent communication skills in both French and English, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to different audiences. Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to earn trust with customers, including during urgent or high-pressure situations. A high level of ownership, accountability, organization, and follow-through across multiple accounts and priorities. A customer success mindset, with the ability to identify risks, opportunities, value drivers, and retention signals. Comfort navigating ambiguity, making practical decisions, and balancing urgency, quality, and customer experience.
