• Collaborate across functions (including SIOP) to improve visibility, manage risk, and identify opportunities

• Drive continuous improvement in finance processes, tools, and business partnership
• Manage and develop one direct report, including setting goals, providing coaching, and supporting career growth

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting or Business from an accredited institution
• Minimum of three years of progressive accounting or finance experience OR a graduate of Eaton's Finance Leadership Development Program
