• Review budgets, cost reports, trial balances, and reconciliations; identify risk areas early and partner cross-functionally to resolve them.
• Represent Production Finance in conversations with Netflix leadership, acting as a strategic business partner and steward for the function.
• Research and evaluate new tools and technologies to support production finance at INK, recommending what to adopt as the entity scales.
• Stand up relevant systems, partnering with Netflix IT and x-functional teams where needed.
