- Leverage systems like Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, NetSuite, Tableau, Power BI, and SQL to automate and scale reporting
- Operate as a true individual contributor with high output, while collaborating across a matrixed environment
- Navigate ambiguity and organizational change with agility, confidence, and a proactive mindset
Ideal Candidate Profile:
