  • Financial & Analytical Mastery: Advanced capabilities in financial modeling, corporate budgeting, and data analysis. You must be comfortable treating a marketing budget as a portfolio of strategic investments.
  • Process Design & Governance: Experience building and scaling operational processes (annual planning, OKRs, KPI dashboards) across a large, matrixed organization.
  • Executive Presence: Superb narrative storytelling skills. You can distill highly complex financial, commercial, and operational data into clear, persuasive executive-level slides and communications.
