  • 5+ years of progressive experience in Accounting and/or Finance, ideally with exposure to Marketing Finance
  • Demonstrated ability to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on execution

Skills & Capabilities

  • Proven people leadership and the ability to influence across functions
  • Strong financial, analytical, and business acumen with a track record of turning insights into action
  • Executive‑level communication and presentation skills
  • Naturally curious, results‑oriented, and comfortable operating in a complex, matrixed environment
