As a Finance Transformation Analyst, you will play a key role in modernizing the finance organization through process automation and data analytics initiatives. Sitting within the Finance Transformation team, this role collaborates closely with stakeholders across Accounting, FP&A, Tax, and other finance functions to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of financial systems and reporting. You will be expected to know and leverage tools (ex: Tableau, SQL, NetSuite, and Python) to analyze data, build scalable reporting solutions, and support system implementations or upgrades.

Success in this role requires strong analytical and communication skills, as you will need to clearly explain technical solutions to non-technical audiences and manage multiple initiatives simultaneously. Within this role, you will work collaboratively with the broader Finance Systems team to proactively identify opportunities, drive automation, and deliver insights that support better financial decision-making.
