You will bring:

• Proven experience in systems accounting, finance transformation or ERP migration projects.

• Hands-on experience with Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric or Power BI.

• Strong data flow mapping and reconciliation experience.

• A good understanding of Bronze, Silver and Gold data architecture.

• The ability to identify data quality issues and implement practical solutions.

• Strong knowledge of P&L, balance sheet and financial reporting processes.

• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and the ability to deliver within tight deadlines.
