## What you bring

- Currently enrolled in a full-time, degree-seeking program in business, finance, economics or a related field with an expected graduation date in Winter 2027/Spring 2028
- Ability to influence decisions through effective verbal and written communications, logical reasoning, and the presentation of alternatives
- Excellent analytical skills, a passion for metrics, and the business judgment to balance the details without losing sight of the big picture
- Advanced proficiency in spreadsheet and presentation software, including Google Sheets, Google Slides, Excel, and PowerPoint
- A positive attitude — a desire to work hard, be creative, stay curious, and maintain a can-do approach

## What we offer
