- Microsoft Power Platform: High competence in Excel (Pivot Tables, Power Query), Power BI (DAX, Data Modeling), and PowerPoint.
- Modern Workflows: Experience or strong interest in using AI/Copilot to speed up development and administrative tasks.
- Analytical Mindset: Ability to look at "raw data" and see the "story"—specifically regarding manufacturing trends and supplier risks.

- Communication: Ability to translate technical data findings into clear, actionable insights for non-technical team members.
- Self-Starter: Proactive in identifying "broken" manual processes and proposing automated fixes.
