Demonstrated ability to automate recurring financial analyses and reporting workflows.
Curiosity and willingness to adopt emerging analytics and AI capabilities to improve financial processes and decision-making.

Responsibilities

Lead planning cadences (annual plan, quarterly plan, ad hoc business reviews, monthly close/forecast), set standards, and drive cross-functional accountability for deliverables and decisions.
Build and manage the operating budget (OPEX and, where applicable, CAPEX), including AOP baseline, reallocations, and spend controls aligned to roadmap and business priorities.

Develop executive-ready reporting (KPI dashboards, budget-to-actuals, headcount, program spend) and translate data into actionable insights.
Identify and implement operational improvements that reduce cycle time, strengthen controls, and improve data quality and audit readiness.
Influence across functions and levels; facilitate alignment, resolve issues, and communicate status, decisions, and impacts.
Ensure adherence to financial policies, approval workflows, and documentation standards; support internal/external audits as needed.
Manage cost centers, cross-charges, and budget transfers.
