Developing actionable management reporting, dashboards, and KPIs and overseeing monthly performance against the agreed-upon goals
Qualifications
At least 7+ years (give or take) of experience in financial modelling and strategic business planning
Proven track record of driving significant impact in complex business situations
A growth mindset, a builder’s mentality and a proven history of effective execution
The ability to thrive in a fast-moving, ambiguous work environment and to navigate through change
Superior written and verbal communication skills, business partnering expertise, and an excellent ability to mentor and teach
Experience building, developing and managing high-performing teams
Preferred requirements for the role:
Significant experience in strategic and financially focused industries such as corporate finance, investment banking, management consulting, corporate accounting or asset management
Experience creating business cases in a fast-growth business
