• Enterprise Data Tooling: Hands-on experience querying and working within modern data and analytics platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Oracle, Palantir Foundry, Databricks, SQL, or equivalent enterprise data environments).
• High Fluency in Excel & PowerPoint: Advanced capability in Excel (complex modeling, pivot tables, data manipulation) and PowerPoint (building polished, executive-ready narrative decks).
• High Ownership & Bias for Action: You are self-driven, hyper-organized, and detail-oriented; you step into gaps proactively and follow through from insight to execution.
• Communication & Stakeholder Management: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill sophisticated quantitative insights clearly to senior leadership and diverse cross-functional teams.
• Security & Compliance: Must be a U.S. Person and eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance due to access to export-controlled information.
• Willing to travel as necessary (up to 25%)
