    • Translate technical solutions into business-friendly outputs, especially for FP&A, operations, and executive teams.

    • Collaborate directly with the CFO, finance leads, and operations to prioritize reporting outputs, ensure compliance, and improve forecast cycles.

Training, Troubleshooting & Support

    • Serve as the SME for SAC and champion adoption of the tool across the finance team—initially dedicating 30–40% of time to training.

    • Troubleshoot report anomalies and imbalances, ensuring alignment across GRUs and resolving issues with performance or configuration.

    • Support ongoing validation processes, especially during month-end close cycles, with a focus on accuracy and turnaround time improvement.
