Ability to clearly identify key issues
This may be too far from the source, but reflects the underlying idea I think. I would suggest 'the ability to clearly identify key issues and set priorities'

: If you had to translate it, this would be a good choice. I would leave it out myself.

Germans tend to duplicate things, to make sure that people (who are not as clever as they are) understand it

or:
works on tasks in the order of their importance...
I would understand, that "sets priorities" in the last part of the sentence is not just task or work oder related. In German job adverts it is very often the hidden hint, that work should be prioritized over private interests...

Discussion
Thanks - just thought it might be possible to reword the sentence if we knew what it was referring to - was thinking of something with "evaluate" but couldnt get it to work properly. JMcKechnie's answer is a good solution if you think its too important to leave out.
