• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, building reports).
• Ability to identify trends, interpret performance, and communicate insights clearly.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally and presenting findings.
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to learn tools such as Power BI, Adobe Analytics, or similar platforms.

Nice to Have
