What you’ll bring.

• Proficient in using SAS EG including writing SQL, macros and indexes

• Experience with working to tight deadlines, ability to plan and manage workload

It would also be nice for you to have.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team

• Experience in accounting principles and financial reporting would be useful but not required

• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate with all stakeholders
