Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, with the ability to develop polished, executive-ready analyses, presentations, and investment materials; experience with Power BI, Think-Cell, or similar business intelligence tools is preferred
Demonstrated ability to analyze complex market, commercial, and financial information, identify key risks and opportunities, and recommend strategic paths forward
Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to technical, commercial, and executive stakeholders
Proven ability to build relationships and collaborate effectively across geographically dispersed, cross-functional teams in a fast-paced and evolving environment
