• Take ownership of the budgeting process, financial forecasting, and business planning in close partnership with key stakeholders.
• Develop and maintain strong working relationships with senior leaders and cross-functional teams to provide financial insights and drive informed business decisions.
• Ensure robust financial reporting, compliance, and internal controls are in place to maintain accuracy and transparency.
• Manage stakeholder expectations, balancing competing priorities while fostering collaboration across departments.
• Apply strong analytical skills to interpret financial data, identify trends, and make recommendations that support business objectives.
• Lead the team through complex decisions, including financial modeling and scenario analysis, with an ability to manage the political landscape within the organization.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience: 13-15 years of comprehensive finance experience with a solid background in accounting, budgeting, and business partnering.
• Leadership: Hands-on leader with a proven ability to lead teams and manage diverse personalities in a dynamic environment.
• Communication: Exceptional communication skills to convey complex financial data in a clear and compelling way to stakeholders at all levels.
• Stakeholder Management: Skilled at managing relationships with senior executives and navigating organizational politics to drive results.
• Decision-Making: Ability to make complex, high-stakes decisions with a balance of strategic thinking and operational understanding.
• Analytical Acumen: Strong financial analysis and reporting capabilities, with a deep understanding of how to leverage data for decision support.
