Good communication and stakeholder-management abilities. Experience with financial planning/reporting tools is a plus. Candidates with a slightly more junior background are encouraged to apply if they have strong fundamentals and relevant analytical experience.

Ideal Candidate: The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in financial analysis and forecasting but does not necessarily need to be a highly technical or advanced financial-modeling specialist. Experience working with administrative/operating expenses would be particularly valuable.
