  • Experience building business intelligence dashboards and executive reporting in Tableau, Power BI, or equivalent platforms is required.
  • Experience translating technical roadmaps or product schedules into resource, capacity, or supply plans is required.
  • Experience preparing budget or capital planning inputs and presenting them to finance partners and senior leadership is required.
