● Outstanding communication skills both verbal and written, with the confidence to manage difficult conversations when agreements aren’t being met
● The ability to engage with and influence people at different levels of the business and build strong relationships cross-functionally
● Strong Microsoft Excel skills including the ability to use Pivot table and VLOOKUPS
