Key responsibilities include compiling, analyzing, and reporting on financial metrics to provide leadership with actionable insights. The ideal candidate will drive initiatives with a strong focus on process automation, cross-functional collaboration, and outstanding customer service to both internal stakeholders and external vendors.

  • Participate in and oversee tactical activities in support of corporate and departmental initiatives, contributing detailed operational insight to ensure successful, on-time, and on-budget project deployments with little to no post-launch disruption
  • Strengthen internal controls and risk mitigation strategies to prevent fraud, reduce errors, and ensure compliance with company policies
  • Proactively suggest and execute change management initiatives to modernize departmental tools and software
  • Act as the ultimate escalation point for complex vendor issues and case dispute management, performing deep-dive financial research to resolve root causes
  • Analyze aging reports, dispute trends, and processing bottlenecks to provide actionable insights to leadership
  • Provide reports, support, and feedback to leadership regarding financial performance as it relates to their gross profit centers and/or cost centers
  • Manage competing demands seamlessly in a fast-paced environment, balancing daily transactional deadlines with long-term strategic projects
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Procurement, Operations, and Legal on initiatives to investigate root causes and escalate outstanding issues until fully resolved
  • Other duties as assigned

Position Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or related business field
  • Strong attention to detail and high level of accuracy
  • Excellent organizational skills with proven ability to balance and prioritize multiple day-to-day deadlines and ongoing projects simultaneously
  • Solid knowledge of general accounting practices and experience with PeopleSoft (or equivalent ERP systems)
  • Strong technical acumen regarding underlying financial system architecture to facilitate effective system triaging and alignment with IT teams
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Access), with advanced proficiency in Excel
  • Exceptional research and investigative skills with analytic mindset to identify root-cause issues
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly, effectively, and persuasively present complex information to all levels of employees, management, and customers
  • Demonstrated ability to influence, lead, and manage change thoughtfully and positively
  • Previous experience managing supervisors, team leads, or a multi-tiered team is highly preferred

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
