- Drive process improvements and automation across core workflows: P2P/O2C/R2R
- Identify manual bottlenecks across the finance function and lead automation initiatives to eliminate them
- Build and maintain automated management and financial reporting infrastructure
- Document and standardize operating procedures across finance operations
