The Finance COE partners closely with Global Finance and Business teams, Controllership, and other cross-functional stakeholders to deliver accurate OPEX accruals and forecasts, month-end close reporting, spend visibility, variance analysis, and actionable financial insights.

The team also plays an important role in simplifying and standardizing existing ways of working, transitioning activities into the COE, and building scalable tools and processes that improve efficiency, transparency, and decision-making.

• Build scalable reports, dashboards, analytical tools, and insights to improve spend visibility and decision-making.

• Drive process standardization, simplification, automation, and continuous improvement across FP&A activities.

• Support the transition of Finance activities into the COE, ensuring clear ownership, controls, governance, documentation, and service expectations.

• Partner with Controllership and Finance teams to ensure compliance with US GAAP, internal controls, accounting policies, and audit requirements.

• Contribute to the development of the COE operating model, governance, performance metrics, and best practices.

• Manage multiple priorities and timelines effectively in a dynamic, matrixed environment.

• Proven ability to independently manage complex FP&A deliverables with accuracy, accountability, and strong attention to controls.

• Experience in leading process transitions, standardization, operating-model improvements, or automation initiatives.

• Experience in developing and implementing financial tools, dashboards, models, reports, or automated solutions.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, spreadsheet, and presentation skills.
