• Proven expertise in Excel/Google Sheets financial modeling, especially expense modeling and scenario analysis
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills with the ability to manipulate large datasets and draw meaningful conclusions
• Exceptional communication skills — comfortable presenting financial concepts to non-finance stakeholders
• High attention to detail, intellectual curiosity, and a proactive, ownership-driven mindset

Bonus Points

• Experience working with FP&A tools (e.g., Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, Workday, NetSuite, TM1, Snowflake, Biquery)
• Familiarity with SQL or other analytical tools
• Exposure to operating in scaling, fast-paced environments
