- Strong analytical skills, bringing a wide range of considerations and perspectives to issues and identifying ways to improve on previous efforts
- A commitment to learning and self-development, as well as the capacity to continuously seek to build on knowledge of portfolio-management practices and financial markets

**Nice-to-have**
- Ability to be innovative with data and analytic solutions and capable of working jointly across a range of partners including analytics experts, solution developers, and end users
- Completion of, or enrolment in, the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program or similar programs
