I am looking to speak to any immediately available analysts, who can start ASAP, 3 days a week in the city, with intermediate-advanced Excel, strong cross functional stakeholder management skills, excellent communication skills, experience of working with commercial teams and external clients to provide complex revenue reporting and data analysis.

• Respond to queries from licensees, clients, auditors, and internal teams, providing supporting documentation and financial analysis.
