• Previous experience in a commercial finance, FP&A, or finance business partnering role.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to turn data into actionable insight.
• Advanced Excel skills, including experience working with large data sets.
• Confident communicating financial information to non-finance stakeholders.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
