Business Partnering & Process Improvement • Act as a finance business partner to designated functions and cost centres, providing analysis, guidance, and challenge. • Develop compelling, data-driven stories that translate the numbers into actionable recommendations for stakeholders. • Identify and implement efficiency improvements across recurring workstreams, automating and streamlining reporting processes and models. • Contribute to special projects and initiatives spanning corporate development, systems enhancements, and finance transformation.
