As a colleague, you will be part of a culture that values ideas, encourages ownership and holds itself to high standards. We invest in people who are curious, thoughtful and adaptable, whether they are launching new products, reporting on global events or harnessing emerging technologies such as AI to improve how we work. Here, fresh thinking is taken seriously, ambition is matched by integrity, and great work is recognised. Working across disciplines, geographies and perspectives, we are united by a commitment to innovation, excellence and creating meaningful impact. The Economist is a leading source of analysis on international business and world affairs, published weekly in print and digital editions, and daily through our Espresso app and Economist.com. We deliver our information through a range of formats, from newspapers and magazines to conferences, films and digital editions. What ties us together is the objectivity of our opinion, the originality of our insight and our advocacy of economic and political freedom around the world. Headquartered in London, The Economist Group has offices and people across the globe, and is valued by its customers for its world-class insights and rigorous analysis. We have individual and corporate customers for our analysis, data and educational offerings. We value individuals who think differently and can challenge the status quo.

• Strategic "Fix vs. Hold" Recommendations: Critically evaluate complex Finance workflows to determine which should be "cleaned up" immediately as a "no-regrets" move to drive efficiency today, versus those that should be documented and held as requirements for the future ERP implementation.
• Cross-Functional Stakeholder Alignment: Facilitate engagement across a wide range of business stakeholders and build consensus on future processes that bridge the gap between commercial activity and financial integrity.
