• Solid experience with monthly close cycles, variance analysis, budget, and forecast
• Excellent attention to detail with the ability to synthesize data into executive-ready insight

• Public or PE-backed company experience preferred
• MBA, CPA, or CMA a plus
• Familiarity with ERP systems (SAP preferred) and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau)
• Experience with or exposure to modern EPM platforms (Anaplan, Adaptive Planning, Cube, Vena, Pigment, or similar)

• Interest in AI/LLM applications in finance — agent-based analysis, forecast automation, natural-language reporting
• Automotive, robotics, or technology-driven industry background
• Business proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is a plus given regular cross-border collaboration with China-based team members
