• Strong financial analysis, reporting, and planning capabilities with confidence in Excel modeling (specialist accounting expertise not required)
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a track record of taking full ownership of unclear or unowned initiatives and driving them end-to-end
• Hands-on approach combined with meticulous attention to detail and consistently high standards
• Excellent strategic thinking and communication skills; ability to translate between strategy, finance, and operations
