• Develop, monitor, and report on SLAs and operational KPIs
• Create executive scorecards covering cycle times, first-pass yield, aging, exceptions, reconciliation completion, close performance, and service quality
• Lead corrective action plans when service levels or quality expectations are not achieved
• Monitor offshore staffing, capacity, productivity, and service delivery
• Own onshore monitoring controls over outsourced finance activities
• Ensure compliance with SOX, segregation of duties, maker/checker requirements, and internal controls
• Support internal/external audits, SOX testing, and remediation
• Lead transitions of additional finance processes into shared services
• Develop standardized procedures and scalable best practices
• Identify opportunities for automation and reduction of manual processes
• Partner with ERP/technology teams to optimize workflows, approvals, integrations, and reporting
• Lead and develop a FinOps/Controls Analyst
• Partner cross-functionally with Accounting, Treasury, FP&A, Internal Audit, IT, Procurement, HR, and Legal

• Experience working with third-party BPO providers strongly preferred
• Public-company/SEC reporting environment experience
• Strong knowledge of SOX and internal controls
• Broad understanding of transactional finance processes including AP, AR, cash application, reconciliations, master data, and close
• Experience establishing and managing SLAs and operational KPIs
