• Exceptional written and verbal skills, with a high degree of attention to detail when preparing client-facing materials.
• The ability to translate market research and client activity into actionable commercial insights.
• Proficiency in the Microsoft Office suite, particularly PowerPoint and Excel, to build structured and persuasive decks.
