Hands-on problem solver who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves in a lean environment
Proven track record of influencing executive decision-making with data-driven insights
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
Experience with international finance operations (U.S. and Canada) is an asset
