• You are an effective communicator who can work cross-functionally and explain financial concepts to non-finance partners.
• You manage competing priorities well and thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• You are proficient with Microsoft Excel and experienced with accounting ERP systems such as Sage, NetSuite, or Oracle.
