Strong expertise in financial modelling, forecasting, and data analytics.
Proficiency in project tracking tools (e.g., Monday.com, Asana, Smartsheet) and financial software (e.g., Excel, Power BI, Tableau).
Ability to roll up sleeves and execute—this is a hands-on role that requires problem-solving skills.
Experience in coordinating and optimizing existing budget tracking systems for improved efficiency.
Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to work cross-functionally across senior leadership, finance, and operational teams.
