• 1-3+ years of experience in consulting, strategy, operations, technology, banking, analytics or related experience. 
• Proven analytical skills and can deliver actionable recommendations - excel skills are required and competency in SQL and dashboards is preferred. 
• You operate at the lowest level of detail - you are a problem solver and a “do-er”, and you inspire your team through insight and action.
• Strong business acumen - you are able to identify the “so what” from data, interdependencies between teams, and translate them into an operational strategy 
• You’re a generalist – you seek exposure to different types of problems and want to try your hand at different sides of the business.
• You are a self-starter – you bias towards action and excel in a fast-paced environment and evolving business.
