• Implement solutions to automate manual tasks within finance processes, such as automate reconciliations performed as part of the month end close process, including creation of APIs and data scraping functionality.
• Evaluate and recommend new finance technologies and connectivity between our systems (i.e. connectivity between ERP, financial planning and analysis (FP&A) software, as well as use of robotic process automation (RPA)).
• Manage project teams, timelines, and budgets to ensure successful execution of transformation initiatives.
• Develop and maintain detailed process documentation and training materials.
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement within the organization

• Experience with implementing and integrating finance technologies (e.g., ERP, FP&A software, RPA).
• Understanding of internal and external audit processes is a plus
• Desire to work independently and be a team player as a member of an international organization
• Strong interpersonal skills, as you will be working within a team and working alongside many key stakeholders in the organisation
• Strong presentation and communication skills when working with internal teams and external vendors
• Ability to prioritize, organize and execute quickly and efficiently in a dynamic environment with ever-changing and competing demands
