• Build advanced Excel models (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, Pivot Tables, array formulas, VBA) and automate transformations in Power Query (M).
• Develop interactive dashboards, KPI scorecards, and spend reports using Power BI (DAX) or Tableau.
• Deliver ad-hoc analyses, variance reports, trend identification, and regular leadership-level summaries.

• Work with procurement data from ERP and P2P systems (SAP, Oracle, Ariba, Coupa) covering PR, PO, GRN, and invoice workflows.
