• Improve the global month‑end close process, reducing timelines while maintaining high standards of financial accuracy and audit readiness.
• Partner with ERP and finance transformation initiatives to improve financial systems, automation, and reporting infrastructure.
• Build and develop a high‑performing global finance control team, establishing strong processes and clear accountability across regional controllers and reporting functions.

• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to communicate complex accounting matters clearly to senior leadership and non‑finance stakeholders.

Preferred

• Experience preparing organizations for SOX compliance, IPO readiness, or public company environments.
• Background in healthcare, medical technology, SaaS, AI, or other regulated industries.
