  • Analytical skills with proven experience in spend analysis and financial modeling.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly present recommendations and influence decision-making.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, stakeholders, and supplier discussions in a fast-paced environment.
