• Manage and lead the FP&A team on best practices in our data, analytical and reporting efforts, such as refining financial models that are used to measure the entity's performance, preparing dashboards and key metrics, forecasting P&L and balance sheet statements, and optimizing team structure
• Collaborate with the Accounting team to better align the cohesiveness of accounting systems and FP&A reporting infrastructures
