### **6\. Cross-Team Collaboration**

-   Work with non-technical teams to gather requirements

-   Recommend improvements proactively

### **What Makes You a Strong Fit**

-   You’ve **built real automations**, not just explored tools
-   You think in:

-   Systems
-   Workflows
-   Efficiency

-   You’re both:

-   Technical enough to build
-   Clear enough to communicate

-   You’re curious and keep up with AI/automation tools
-   You execute fast and iterate constantly

### **Must-Have Requirements**

-   Proven experience in:

-   Automation

-   Debug and optimize workflows
-   Document processes and logic
-   Collaborate with teams on improvements

**In short:**
