• Solution Design & Development: Collaborate with IT and finance business stakeholders to design scalable financial solutions. Ensure that new capabilities are innovative, repeatable, and aligned with organizational growth.
• Data Reconciliation & Automation: Structure and reconcile high-volume transaction data across disparate systems, identify root causes of discrepancies, and architect automated, controlled workflows for detection and resolution on packaged ERP/SaaS and custom finance applications.
• Stakeholder Influence & Decision Support: Act as a trusted advisor to finance leadership, using data and analysis to inform prioritization and decision-making; influence senior stakeholders without direct authority to harmonize on strategy and sequencing.
• Analytical Decision Support: Utilize advanced data analysis to guide executive decision-making. Execute strategies that integrate stakeholder requirements across the end-to-end financial journey.
• AI & Automation Enablement: Identify opportunities to leverage AI, automation, and modern finance technologies to streamline processes, improve insights, and accelerate finance transformation outcomes.
