  • Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritise effectively, and meet deadlines.
  • Excellent communication skills across multiple stakeholder levels.
  • Experience in variance analysis (actual vs. forecast vs. budget).
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced environment.


Desirable:
