6. Assist with internal financial control assessments, audits, and compliance requirements. Track findings, develop action plans, and follow up on remediation.
7. Support innovation and transition projects by reviewing process designs and assessing control impacts.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s Degree required.
