• Strong understanding of the WCSB and North American oil and gas industry
• Familiarity with key industry data sources (e.g., AER, BCER, Petrinex, CER, and third-party forecasters such as Wood Mackenzie)
• Advanced Excel skills with demonstrated experience building complex, bottom-up models (production, supply-demand balances, or financial models)
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to own and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Strong quantitative and critical thinking skills with the ability to identify inconsistencies, investigate root causes, and develop solutions
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex topics clearly and concisely
