• Strong SQL skills - able to write and adapt queries.
• Experience working with relational databases and data extraction.
• Comfortable configuring and using online systems and applications.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Analytical and detail-oriented approach.
• Experience managing or supporting technical projects.

Desirable:
