What You'll Do

• Sophisticated financial modeling: build models from scratch, improve existing models, and break sophisticated models down into components that consolidate;
• Think strategically and implement: the models we build aid in decision making and strategy - we operationalise our insights and support everyday execution;
• Monthly close: analyse variances between actuals, forecast, and plan - use insights to iterate on forecasts and build/discuss potential action plans with cross-functional customers;

• Innovate: we will push the boundaries beyond traditional forecasting. Be creative, adaptive, and eager to learn new technical abilities;
