• Assist in preparing materials for annual planning and periodic reforecasting cycles
• Analyze expense trends to identify key drivers, variances, and opportunities for cost optimization
• Drive process improvements by streamlining recurring reports and automating manual workflows where possible
• Help with simple financial models, tools, or templates to support better decision-making
• Communicate findings clearly in writing and in meetings with finance and business teams

Must Haves:

• Strong interest in process improvement, with experience identifying and implementing automation opportunities
• MBA or advanced degree in finance or a related discipline
