- Experience working in a multi-entity or multi-brand environment.
- Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to work effectively with senior leaders and entity-level VPs through influence rather than direct authority.

- Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a strong plus.
- Comfortable working with imperfect or evolving data and building reliable analysis and reporting while systems and processes are still being refined.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
