• Strong financial and operational modelling expertise, supporting business cases and executive decision-making
• Exceptional executive communication and presence, including facilitation of senior-level discussions, negotiation of scope and recommendations, and development of high‑impact, client-ready presentations.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple engagements concurrently, prioritize effectively, and deliver under tight deadlines and evolving client expectations
• High standards of professional integrity, judgment, and discretion, with the confidence to challenge clients constructively and communicate difficult messages clearly
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, with preferred hands‑on experience in Alteryx, Power BI, and Python
