• Building strong relationships across finance (EMEA, US) and business teams to enable accountability and planning
• Owning and enhancing data, systems, and reporting tools, maintaining data accuracy across systems (e.g. Anaplan, Power BI) managing reporting outputs, and continuously improving and simplifying models, dashboards, and processes to drive efficiency and insight
• Supporting governance, insights, and continuous improvement, contributing to monthly business reviews, presentations, and ad hoc analysis; identifying risks and opportunities, supporting data and reporting strategy, and proactively improving ways of working across the finance team

In return, we’ll offer you a competitive salary and benefits that include:
