- A proven track record of owning forecasts and delivering decision-driving insights to senior leadership
- Comfort navigating between the 30,000-foot view and the weeds—you're as excited about building models as you are about debating the strategy they inform
- Strong storytelling and communication skills—you know how to make data resonate with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike
- SQL and spreadsheet fluency; familiarity with tools like Looker, Tableau, or Pigment is a bonus
- Strong analytical, financial modeling and problem-solving skills; building financial models and ad-hoc analyses should come naturally
