• 8+ years’ experience with Finance AI topics while working in finance or D&A teams with increasing scope and responsibility.
• Exposure to major finance processes, data sources, technologies and workflows.
• Experience with the deployment of advanced analytics capabilities to support short-, mid- or long-term decision making.

• Exposure to using AI/ML in forecasting, or experience with quantitative analytics, statistics and coding languages (preferably Python) a bonus.
• Moderate willingness to travel; though primarily a virtual role, Analysts occasionally have opportunities for domestic and international travel.

• Collaborative: extremely comfortable connecting, coordinating and delivering impact with global colleagues and clients in both virtual and face-to-face settings
• Organized: skilled at multitasking, prioritizing, and working under deadlines across various project types
• Confident: able to make sound decisions on projects and drive for results with minimal supervision (i.e., in a remote, virtual-first environment)
