The position is based in an office environment and involves prolonged desk and computer work, occasional standing and walking, and occasional lifting and carrying of items up to 20 pounds. U.S.-based work requires access to export-controlled information or items and therefore requires U.S. Person status as defined by U.S. law.

Experience improving financial reporting, systems, or tools, such as NetSuite, Adaptive, Foundry, or similar systems.
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
