Technical Skills

• Strong analytical capability: able to read a BOM, build a cost component by component and navigate large datasets without losing sight of the objective.
• Advanced Excel (pivot tables, Power Query, simulation models); knowledge of BI tools (Power BI, Tableau or equivalent) is a plus..
