• Act as a key collaborator and subject matter expert within Group Finance (Financial Controlling, Payroll, and Tax teams) as well as with stakeholders outside of Finance, taking ownership of communication regarding complex invoicing and payment matters.
• Initiate and execute process improvement and systems enhancement projects to drive strategic initiatives that help scale the organization.

• You are detail-oriented, with a highly analytical and strategic mindset.
• You are a proven leader in automation and process improvement.
• Ability to lead and manage multiple projects simultaneously with strong prioritization skills.
