This role will serve as the key partner to the Senior Manager of Finance Transformation, helping to shape and execute the team’s roadmap for driving system implementations and improvements across Accounting and Finance.

They will help identify gaps in our current systems and processes, propose scalable solutions, and drive implementation efforts that create efficiency and structure across the organization.

• Manage and support projects ranging in complexity and scale — highly cross-functional and spanning multiple months to focused “quality of life” enhancements.
• Compile business requirement documents and UAT scripts using stakeholder input and coordinating testing cycles.
• Design and implement scalable system configuration changes that streamline processes.
• Establish best practices and documentation to ensure knowledge transfer and system sustainability.
