• System Integration & New Product Implementation: Deeply understand the underlying systems and financial processes driving revenue and platform accounting. Work closely with cross-functional teams (Product & Tech, BI analysts, Finance Systems, IT, Payments team) to build and operate products effectively. Represent Global Finance Operations in the implementation of new products, assessing their financial and accounting impact on order platforms and backend systems.
• Continuous Improvement & Risk Management: Proactively review financial risks and continuously drive improvements in quality and efficiency. This involves identifying, refining, and implementing new or existing processes, models, and systems that enhance team workflows and ensure compliance with the internal control framework.
• Team Management & Talent Development: Lead and manage 3-4 direct reports, focusing on talent development, coaching, and supporting team members to excel and expand in their roles through effective development conversations and participation in recruitment processes.
• Operational Excellence & Prioritization: Ensure adherence to timely and accurate reporting of relevant accounting transactions. Demonstrate strong organizational skills by balancing and prioritizing multiple tasks to ensure accuracy and meet tight deadlines.
