* Experience leading implementation of commercial compliance or transparency systems (e.g., Medispend or similar).
* Skilled in data migration, process redesign, workflow mapping, and system integrations (SharePoint, Oracle, Concur).
* Excellent stakeholder and supplier management across global, cross-functional teams.
* Strong planning, communication, and problem-solving capabilities.
