  • Comfort with high-volume external calls: Demonstrated ability (through internships, campus roles, or projects) to engage professionally with new contacts, ask strong questions, and learn quickly in live conversations.
  • Communication: Excellent writing and verbal communication; able to synthesize ambiguity into clear, decision-relevant summaries.
  • Analytical thinking: Strong critical thinking and structured problem-solving; able to form hypotheses and test them with evidence from primary and secondary sources.
  • Project management: Able to manage multiple parallel workstreams, prioritize under deadlines, and maintain attention to detail.
  • Integrity & discretion: High ethical standards and sound judgment handling sensitive topics and confidential information.
