    • Significant M&A experience, ideally in a corporate, Big 4, investment banking or the consumer healthcare environment

    • Experience with cross-border transactions; public company experience is a plus

    • Strong skills in financial modelling, valuation, due diligence, and project management

    • Proficient in Excel, PowerPoint, and M&A-related tools

    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

    • Strong analytical and commercial acumen

    • Able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting

    • Confident engaging with senior executives and external advisors

    Cultural Fit:
