MBA or equivalent graduate degree

Comfortable writing SQL against a data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake) to retrieve, analyze, and validate cost and sell-through data behind models rather than relying solely on hand-off extracts.

Fluent in scenario and elasticity-based modeling - able to build pricing or configuration models from demand-response assumptions through to margin outcomes.
