  • Ability to work with large datasets to identify trends, model scenarios, and translate quantitative outputs into clear operational recommendations
  • Strong analytical skills with a data-driven approach to workforce decision-making
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey capacity risks and staffing plans to operational and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Highly flexible and adaptable to the evolving needs of a high-growth, fast-paced organization
