Working with leaders around the world, you will deliver a high-quality customer experience through developing and leading strategic, cross-functional programs. These will be aimed at delivering ongoing operational efficiency and free-cash-flow improvements through automation, upstream defect reduction and end-to-end process improvement.

• Building financial and operational analyses to drive and influence data-driven senior leadership decisions across FinOps, business and technology teams to deliver high-quality solutions, leveraging technology and automation.
• Building scalable models and overcoming language support challenges in a cost-effective way, making sound recommendations on implementation of new tools, technologies, best practices and organisational structures
• Communicating program and policy updates to senior leaders and employees across multiple finance and business teams
• Working closely with our FinOps Services teams to identify and remove roadblocks, acting as the interface between our operations, business, accounting, finance and tax teams
Basic Qualifications:
Qualified Accountant (CPA / ACCA / ACA / CIMA or equivalent) with demonstrable finance experience or MBA with demonstratable finance reporting and finance transformation experience
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience of initiating and driving multiple complex, cross-functional, milestone driven projects simultaneously to agreed deadlines

• Track record of earning the trust of leadership by challenging norms, enabling growth and improving efficiency
• Experience driving transformational financial system improvement initiatives in large organisations • Experience in process improvement methodologies such as Six Sigma, with knowledge of how best-practice tools and processes work
• Project management experience, working with technology and product managers to drive technology roadmaps
• Excellent business judgment, analytical, and decision-making skills to evaluate complex processes and financial scenarios
• Ability to solve complex problems within and outside your direct scope of responsibility and dive deep on any finance topic
