• Create, monitor, and refine KPIs and metrics to measure performance and progress against organizational goals within the shared services environment.
• Analyze complex accounting and financial datasets (e.g., GL, subledgers, cash, AR/AP) to identify risks, opportunities, trends, and process improvement opportunities; provide recommendations based on data-driven evidence.
• Investigate the “why” behind data trends, not just the “what,” to support root-cause analysis, control enhancement, and strategic decision-making.
• Perform risk analyses to identify material financial and execution risks; document findings and recommend corrective actions.
• Identify recurring control, reporting, and data-quality issues and recommend improvements to templates, standards, metrics, and operating processes.
• Research, design, and build interactive dashboards and reports in collaboration with business owners, translating requirements into solutions that drive value and support close and reporting activities.
• Gather and synthesize input from subject-matter experts, integrating business context into analysis and visualization.
• Develop, organize, and maintain documentation for data sources, KPIs, and analytical processes to ensure transparency, consistency, and repeatability.
• Support the development and maintenance of standards and best practices for financial data visualization and analytics in the shared service center.
• Ensure data quality, governance, and compliance with organizational standards.
• Prepare and present financial analyses to leadership and other senior stakeholders in a clear, concise, and compelling manner.
• Serve as a primary analytical point of contact for the organization on financial/operational analytics and optimization ideas.
• Where appropriate, apply advanced analytics to deepen insights and automate portions of the analytical process (e.g., variance analysis, forecasting, anomaly detection).

• Proven ability to quickly learn and understand complex accounting, financial, and operational processes (e.g., ERP/SAP flows, GL and subledger interactions).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a keen eye for detail.
• Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously and manage priorities in a dynamic shared services environment.
