- Comfortable building forecasts and models from multiple data sources
- An excellent communicator and project manager with experience coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives; comfortable managing contractors and vendors
- Organized with excellent attention to detail
- A motivated self-starter who can handle competing priorities
- Curious about the operations of the firm and how your role fits into the bigger picture
