* Maîtrise de l'anglais et du français
* Forte capacité de leadership technique, avec un esprit autonome et proactif
* Capacité à analyser des données complexes et à fournir des informations exploitables
* Excellentes compétences en communication et en gestion des parties prenantes

* Profiter de stabilité, de défis et d'une carrière à long terme sans routine quotidienne ennuyeuse
* Travailler avec des outils et des méthodologies de pointe pour l'optimisation des coûts
