  • Advanced Excel skills (complex formulas, financial modelling, pivot tables)
  • SQL and/or reporting automation experience strongly preferred
  • Experience with Oracle EPM or a similar EPM/planning system is a strong plus
  • Comfortable using AI tools to support and accelerate financial analysis and reporting
  • Accounting qualification such as ACCA, or an equivalent Saudi-recognized qualification (e.g. SOCPA), preferred
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships across the business
  • Highly analytical, detail-oriented and comfortable working with large datasets
  • Self-motivated, proactive and keen to drive improvements to reporting and processes
