  • Strong data fluency — able to turn portfolio and financial metrics into actionable insights and executive-ready reporting

  • Client-facing experience, including supporting new-business pitches and setting expectations with clients new to the engagement
  • Proficiency with Wrike or a comparable platform (Asana, Smartsheet, Monday.com); transferable experience welcome
  • Excellent communication skills — clear and confident with internal partners and senior stakeholders alike
  • Bachelor's degree and/or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive benefits package including nationwide health, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) with employer contribution
