  • Strong sense of ownership and can dissect diverse problem statements into a set of action plans to drive the business forward.
  • Experienced in using Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace experience.
  • Data analytics capabilities (especially Google Sheets / Tableau)
  • Ability to manage multiple work streams and prioritise where necessary by identifying what are the best trade-off scenarios between performance and cost
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills to liaise with cross-functional teams
  • Experience with SQL and data analysis tools (Tableau, PowerBI) would be a great benefit for the role but not essential to apply.
