  • Stakeholder Engagement:
    Build strong, cross-functional relationships to demonstrate the value of finance partnership across the organization.
  • Systems Support:
    Contribute to our financial systems transformation, including our migration from Adaptive to Anaplan.

What You'll Bring With You

  • 3-5 years of relevant experience in a finance or FP&A role.
  • A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
  • Excellent financial modeling and forecasting skills—this is the core of the role.
