• Collaborate with Finance, Legal, Account Management and other internal stakeholders
• Take ownership of assigned accounts and deliverables while meeting critical deadlines

Technology & Analytical Skills

• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel
• Excel formulas, VLOOKUP and Pivot Tables required
• Ability and willingness to learn new applications and systems

• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
