This includes identifying trends, performing root cause analysis of variances, and creating financial models for scenario planning.
3. Process and Methodology Skills: Process Improvement Methodology: Proven, hands‑on experience utilizing methodologies like Lean, Six Sigma, or DMAIC to drive measurable process improvements. Process Mapping & Documentation: Proficiency in mapping out current‑state ("As‑Is") processes, identifying key pain points, and designing streamlined future‑state ("To‑Be") workflows.
