  • Critical thinking, analytical ability, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to overlay business acumen to develop insights and recommendations.
  • Demonstrated ability to take initiative and work cross-functionally and collaborate with various people and teams.
  • Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to consult and influence as needed with employees and stakeholders.
