• May mentor less experienced team members and support complex market situations as a senior resource.

• Excellent verbal, written, presentation, and relationship-management skills.

• Proven ability to influence without direct authority and build credibility with franchisees and senior stakeholders.

• Strong cross-cultural communication skills and ability to work effectively in diverse international environments.

• High degree of professionalism, adaptability, initiative, and accountability.

Preferred
