Excellent proficiency in financial modeling and Excel (you should be prepared for a case study)
Ability to think creatively and critically and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic, and often ambiguous work environment
BA/BS degree in a quantitative discipline or equivalent work experience
Familiarity with Financial Planning software (e.g. Anaplan, Adaptive, Vena, etc.) is a plus
Knowledge of SQL, Python or R is a plus
