• High level software skills to automate data pulls and generate automated reports (desirable).
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to succinctly summarize key indicators, results and risks to senior management.
• Ability to work with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities and gain executive commitment to drive them to closure.
