  • Partner with cross‑functional teams on initiatives and projects relating to profitability, productivity, and efficiency.
  • Collaborate closely with headquarters, regional and local country Finance teams to ensure efficient, accurate, and high‑quality month‑end closing, forecasting, and budgeting processes.

Skills

  • Detail‑oriented, structured, and able to work independently while contributing effectively to teams.
  • Collaborative, approachable and easy to work with.
  • Mature, composed, and able to remain calm, maintain clarity, and deliver results under pressure.
  • Strong leadership presence with a hands‑on, can‑do attitude and commercial mindset.
  • Capable of making sound decisions and advocating for them when needed.
  • Balances commercial understanding with financial discipline, ensuring both compliance and business impact.
  • Authentic, collaborative, and comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
  • Curious, agile, and committed to continuous learning and improvement.
  • Please note that this is a general description of the role and its requirements. The duties and responsibilities within this role may change over the course of employment at the employer’s discretion.

    Job Requirements
