• Proven ability to structure, execute, and present data findings and solution recommendations.
• Strong verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize technical details into insights for non‑technical business stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across organizational boundaries and build productive relationships with business and technical partners.
• Highly curious, with a discovery mindset and a desire to understand data behavior, edge cases, and business context.
• Detail‑oriented and accurate, with a track record of producing high‑quality work and validating results thoroughly.
• Reliable, trustworthy, and driven—able to work independently, meet commitments, and follow through on complex tasks.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments, working backward from business goals to define a clear plan of action.
• Stakeholder‑engagement experience, including gathering requirements, reviewing findings, and supporting decision‑making.
• Proficiency with SQL, Excel, PowerPoint, and at least one data visualization tool (Power BI, Tableau, etc.).
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
