• Operational Excellence: Analyze P&L deviations, investigate key expenses, and identify end-to-end opportunities for financial improvements across the organization.

• Business Partnering: Act as the dedicated Finance Business Partner for non-customer facing functions (Supply Chain, IT, People & Culture, etc.), driving business cases that maximize long-term impact.

• Month-End & Compliance: Work hand-in-hand with our Shared Service Center to ensure high-quality month-end closings and manage spend allocations, SLAs, and master data integrity.

• Insights for Impact: Collaborate with the Commercial Finance team to provide better insights along the customer journey and support Senior Management with executive presentations for strategic decision-making.

• Digital Catalyst: Leverage existing technology and automation to drive the digitalization of finance, proactively identifying opportunities to rationalize spend and improve FTE/CAPEX monitoring.

• Global Connection: Serve as the local finance point of contact for regional and global inquiries regarding expenses and financial planning.
