  • High aptitude in Excel / Google Sheets (nested logic / validation) and proficiency in Salesforce, Tableau, SAP, and Commissions platforms (e.g., Spiff).
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to present complex financial data to non-financial stakeholders.
  • Project management ability to implement new business processes and manage technical system transitions.
  • Detail-oriented and able to perform in a high-pressure environment while collaborating across teams to deliver results.
