• Other duties as assigned.

• Analytics & Forecasting Experience: Minimum 2 years of professional experience in business analytics, financial planning, commercial operations, or revenue forecasting.
• Financial & Commercial Acumen: Clear understanding of revenue mechanics (specifically distinguishing between signed contracts, invoiced revenue, and recognized revenue) and pipeline analysis.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Proven ability to build strong internal working relationships with cross-functional teams (e.g., Sales, Operations, Finance, and Leadership) to collect inputs and align on business performance.
• Critical Thinking & Stakeholder Management: Strong ability to evaluate data credibility, ask probing questions, and constructively challenge optimistic or unrealistic forecast assumptions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Industry Exposure: Experience or background exposure working within life sciences, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, or contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMO).
• Demand & Resource Planning: Exposure to Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), demand planning, or operational capacity alignment.
• Business Operations: Prior exposure to commercial operations, financial analysis, or business planning environments.

Technical Requirements

• Excel: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (e.g., advanced formulas, financial/forecasting modeling, data consolidation, pivot tables).
• Data Visualization & Analytics Tools: Working knowledge or experience with data visualization software (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) is preferred.
• Reporting Platforms: Experience with collaborative reporting tools or platforms (e.g., SharePoint) is a plus.
