- Establish metrics and benchmarks to measure and track efficiency gains, cycle time reductions, and quality improvements.
- Act as a liaison between Finance and IT to drive ERP (D365, Concur, Blackline) and reporting system improvements.
- Increase the use of self-service BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) to provide actionable insights.
- Partner with automation teams to identify and implement RPA and intelligent automation use cases that reduce manual work and improve accuracy.
- Explore and apply AI/ML capabilities in forecasting, anomaly detection, and narrative reporting.
- Champion data quality and governance initiatives to strengthen the reliability and value of financial insights.
- Manage and develop a Senior Analyst, providing mentorship, guidance, and performance management.
- Promote curiosity and experimentation with new technologies (e.g., AI-enabled finance tools, generative AI for reporting).
- Build cross-functional collaboration between Finance, IT, and business units to improve the impact of transformation projects.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in business, finance, analytics, or a related field, or comparable experience; a Master’s degree or equivalent experience is considered a plus.

- Proven experience leading continuous improvement initiatives with measurable business impact.
- Strong understanding of finance processes and systems (ERP, BlackLine, Concur).
