- Help shape and lead finance transformation efforts, including modernizing planning processes, simplifying reporting, improving forecasting accuracy, and building the capabilities, tools, and operating rhythms required for a scaled finance organization
- Lead, develop, and build a best-in-class global FP&A team and broader finance capabilities as the company evolves
- Partner with Accounting to support month-end close, variance analysis, financial reporting, audit support, and compliance-related activities
- Design, automate, and optimize finance processes and systems to support a dynamic and growing global business
- Partner with Enterprise Technology and Finance Systems teams to evaluate and execute the roadmap for financial systems optimization and implementation
- Continually assess and improve FP&A team operations, including structure, processes, tools, and reporting, with the goal of increasing efficiency, reducing cycle times, and improving decision support across the business
- Serve as a leader on the Finance Leadership Team, helping shape the future of the function, team priorities, and talent strategy
