Experience & skills

• Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience using data and reporting tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Salesforce, or equivalent).
• Proven ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.
• Curiosity and adaptability with new technologies; exposure to AI-enabled tools in marketing or sales contexts is a plus.
