• Identify opportunities to simplify and automate financial operations, reducing manual work while improving accuracy and scalability.

• Implement practical AI and automation solutions across reconciliations, invoice processing, financial controls, and reporting.

• Work cross‑functionally to ensure financial processes and systems evolve alongside the organization's international growth.
