- Accounting Process Engineering: Design and implement lean, scalable workflows across global general ledger functions, payroll, and transaction accounting. Ensure our operational structure scales efficiently to support rapid company growth without linear headcount expansion.
- Digital Control Environment & Compliance: Transform our compliance framework by shifting the organization from manual, point-in-time testing to automated, continuous monitoring, embedding data integrity and accounting policies directly into our systems.
- Strategic Data Stewardship: Partner with the CFO and other business leaders to define and automate the tracking of key financial health metrics and actionable insights.

- Automation Mindset: A proven, successful track record of migrating complex, manual accounting environments into sleek, automated operational powerhouses.
- Operational Depth: Experience with global manufacturing and complex supply chains is essential to automate our inventory and revenue recognition (ASC 606) flows. Experience managing international statutory structures is a significant plus.
