- Strong foundation in statistical modelling and analytical techniques
- Experience building predictive models (e.g. regression, tree‑based models such as XGBoost)
- Working knowledge of Python, R, SQL, or similar tools
- Ability to translate business problems into data‑driven solutions
- Strong problem‑solving skills and attention to detail
- Clear communicator who enjoys working with both data and people
