  • Build dynamic, detailed, and scalable financial models to support annual budgets, quarterly re-forecasts, and long-range planning
  • Manage opex and capex budgets in partnership with the business, and own department monthly budget vs. actuals processes with succinct, actionable commentary

  • Identify and clearly communicate key risks and opportunities across your business areas
  • Help drive cost savings and new growth initiatives by building detailed business cases to evaluate and support decision making
  • Support creation of Investor Relations, Board of Director, and Management Financial Review materials
  • Identify and champion improvements to our forecasting tools and processes, including opportunities to leverage AI and automation
