  • Drive process improvements, automation, and system enhancements
  • Oversee cost allocations, activity rates, and planning cycles with precision

Leadership & Influence

  • Build a culture of accountability, continuous improvement & collaboration

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree with CPA, CMA or MBA highly preferred
