• Forecasting & Statistical Modelling: Demonstrated knowledge and experience in applying forecasting techniques and statistical models to business data.

• Data Analysis: Ability to conduct both qualitative and quantitative analysis with attention to detail and accuracy.

• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex data in a clear, concise, and accessible manner.
