- Bachelor's or Master's degree in STEM, Economics, Business or a related quantitative discipline from a leading university.
- Strong analytical skills.
- Relentless Ownership: You thrive in high-stakes, ambiguous environments, operate with extreme urgency, and do whatever it takes to conquer a new market.
