Spanish term or phrase: que abarca su función
"- Conocimiento de la industria bancaria, los productos y los clientes que abarca su función.
- Facilidad para la comunicación directa."

I am translating a CV of a senior executive which includes a section called "fortalezas". The sentence above is listed under this section. Not sure what "su" stands for, as the entire document is written in first person singular, except for this "su".
