●     Strong data analysis and reporting skills; proficient in Microsoft Office

●     Excellent written and verbal communication skills for effective cross-functional collaboration

●     Highly organized, detail-oriented, with strong time management skills

●     Familiarity with process validation and change control procedures

WHAT SETS YOU APART
