• 5+ years of experience in financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis, including multi-year modeling and scenario planning.
• Experience with accounting, audit, or financial reporting, and the ability to work effectively across strategic and operational finance functions.
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, business, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience; CPA, advanced degree, or relevant certifications preferred.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, solutions-oriented approach, with the ability to build effective working relationships across departments and with external partners.
