self-starter
Faisant preuve d'indépendance et esprit d'initiative


Explanation:
Difficile de résumer à un mot comme en Anglais. Je dirais:
Faisant preuve d'indépendance et esprit d'initiative, il/elle sera opérationnel(le) immédiatement, avec un minimum de supervision...
Il faudrait savoir de quel poste il s'agit?

"autodidacte" me vient aussi à l'esprit, mais je ne pense pas qu'il s'agisse de cela...

neutral  mediamatrix: je pense que 'managing' est employé ici dans le sens de 'se débrouiller', et 'autonome' correspond avec 'minimum of supervision', pas avec 'self-starter'
