    • Proven track record of success in a senior finance role within a fast-paced and dynamic environment, preferably within the media or advertising industry, with demonstrable experience in time-based billing or relevant sectors.
    • Strong financial modelling and analytical skills, with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.
    • Demonstrated leadership abilities, with experience leading cross-functional teams and driving organizational change.
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively partner and drive change with senior non-finance and financial stakeholders.
