• Elite financial modeling skills in Excel to build and maintain driver-based and dynamic models from scratch for ad-hoc analysis. Ability to navigate SQL, Looker, BigQuery, and other databases to efficiently gather data.
• A proven track record of leading core FP&A processes (month-end analysis, in-year reforecasting, operating plans, and multi-year strategic plans).
