• Partner with department budget owners to gather, validate, and consolidate their forecast inputs on schedule.
• Support Board materials, investor presentations, earnings-call preparation, and other strategic deliverables.
• Support ad-hoc financial analysis for CFO and Acting Director, FP&A on capital allocation, cost actions, and business decisions.
• Contribute to cross-border reporting consolidation with China-based finance counterparts as needed.
• Participate in FP&A modernization initiatives — EPM platform rollout, process automation, and AI/LLM workflow experimentation.

• 4–7 years of experience in FP&A or corporate finance.
• Strong financial modeling skills (advanced Excel required; comfort with driver-based models across P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet).
• Solid experience with monthly close cycles, variance analysis, budget, and forecast.
• Excellent attention to detail with the ability to synthesize data into executive-ready insight.
