• Own short-term and rolling cash-flow forecasts and integrate liquidity planning into the broader financial outlook.
• Monitor liquidity requirements, working-capital trends, foreign-currency exposure, and cash-flow performance.
• Support treasury administration, lender reporting, banking oversight, and appropriate cash-disbursement controls.
• Lead, coach, and develop FP&A team members while promoting accountability, analytical rigor, collaboration, and process discipline.
• Collaborate with finance transformation, accounting, data, and systems partners to improve planning and analytical capabilities.
