  • A strong analytical and financial mindset, with a structured and detail‑oriented approach to problem solving.
  • Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint, used to create clear analyses and compelling presentations.
  • The ability to manage multiple stakeholders and deliver high‑quality work under time pressure.
