• Establish governance around investment decisions, including business case reviews and post‑implementation performance tracking.
• Independently identify and lead process improvement and change initiatives across FP&A and cross‑functional partners.
• Deliver clear, concise executive‑level communications, dashboards, and presentations

 

Summary of Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or related field (MBA a plus).
