- Excellent numeracy, spreadsheet modeling, and accounting skills, as well as an ability to clearly articulate insights to non-financial stakeholders to aid the decision-making process.
- Strong interpersonal skills to build robust working relationships within a dynamic team environment
- Ability to successfully operate in an ambiguous growth environment
- Presence and a proactive style that builds relationships at all levels of the business
- A high-level understanding of IT systems and processes, and their foundational role in the success of a rapidly scaling business.
