• Advanced spreadsheet and data analysis skills, with experience creating reports, calculators, dashboards, or automation that improve efficiency and accuracy.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams, influence process improvements, and manage compliance risks proactively.
