• Build and maintain reconciliation frameworks and a Notion knowledge base that keeps the team aligned, audit-ready, and equipped to onboard new financial products efficiently

You'll be great for this role if…

• Advanced proficiency in SAP financial modules, including SAP S/4HANA and SAP FICO, with hands-on experience in ERP implementations
