• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing deadlines and maintain high‑quality work.
• Clear, effective communication skills and a collaborative approach to working across functions.
• A hands‑on approach and willingness to take ownership of both recurring responsibilities and new initiatives.
• Sound judgment, integrity, and discretion when handling confidential information.
• CPA strongly preferred but not required.
