  • Own quality and validation: Define ground truth, validation approaches and monitoring so that signals can be trusted and used in decisions.

  • Embed privacy and fairness from the start: Work with P&C leadership, Legal & Privacy on what can and should be measured, with clear guardrails on bias, consent and appropriate use.

  • Problem solving: ease and creativity to seek solutions to day-to-day challenges and achieve the best results;

  • Ability to understand how your decisions and work impact our customers' experience, seeking results that align with our purpose;

  • Willingness and ease of learning, especially for tools;

  • Openness to receive feedback and incorporate it into your daily life and development;
