- Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks and drive resolution
- Monitor progress and provide structured updates to leadership
2. Improve Finance Processes and Operating Efficiency
- Map, analyze, and optimize core finance processes (AP, AR, GL, payroll, treasury, reporting)
- Support month-end and quarter-end close improvements through structured initiatives
- Standardize and document finance workflows and procedures
- Implement scalable frameworks for reporting and data management
- Translate system changes into practical, sustainable day-to-day routines

- Strong program and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and meet deadlines.
- Hands-on ERP experience — NetSuite strongly preferred.
- Experience using Jira, including workflow optimization and automation.
- Experience maintaining structured documentation in Confluence.
- Track record of building process discipline, improving operational efficiency, and simplifying complex workflows into scalable systems.
