• Effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to provide concise and meaningful updates to internal stakeholders.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and comfort working with operational files, templates, trackers, and reporting tools.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

• Direct experience with ETF basket administration, basket dissemination, or operational support for basket-related workflows.
