• Ability to identify patterns and root causes in complex (e.g. ambiguous, from various sources) data and processes to rapidly distil key issues and provide insight in various situations
• Basic balance sheet understanding on IFRS 4 and IFRS 17 bases, and experience of closing and reporting related topics
• High level of analytical ability, capable of clearly communicating results and findings in a clear and concise manner
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, ideally within a global environment.
