• Advanced Excel proficiency (complex formulas, pivot tables) and experience with reconciliation tooling and banking portals

• Scripting skills (Python or similar) for data analysis and process automation
• Experience with cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery) and BI platforms (e.g., Looker, Tableau), including building governed reporting layers with SLAs
