- Commercial acumen, strong presentation skills, and sound judgment in high-stakes decision-making.
- High attention to detail, proactive mindset, and ability to operate independently in a dynamic environment.
- Tertiary qualifications in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field; post-graduate qualifications (e.g., CFA, MBA) advantageous but not essential.
Skills:
- Strong financial modeling and analytical skills.
- Proficiency in financial analysis and valuation techniques.
