- Degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Management Engineering or a related quantitative field;
- A working understanding of how commercial, technical, and research functions fit together within a company, and the ability to learn an unfamiliar domain quickly;
- Comfortable stepping into an existing workstream, keeping it running smoothly, and taking ownership over time;
- Fluent written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate confidently with senior external stakeholders.
Bonus Points
- Prior exposure to ISO standards or certification processes is a plus;
