• A basis for analyzing data to extract pertinent insights and actionable recommendations;
• Exceptional communication (written and verbal) and interpersonal skills;
• Strong work ethic with a self-motivated mindset and drive to reach goals;
• Ability to foresee potential challenges in projects and proactively tackle them;
• Ability to provide feedback, support and additional points-of-view to senior colleagues to improve research products and productivity;

• Ability to rapidly learn and demonstrate new knowledge (e.g. working with clients in new industries);
