• Identify process breakdowns, inefficiencies and root causes
• Develop recommendations that improve financial and operational performance
• Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, Shared Services and IT

EXECUTION

• Take analysis beyond identifying the problem—help drive the solution
• Support process improvement, systems enhancements and strategic initiatives
• Translate findings into practical recommendations and follow through on implementation
• Help move initiatives from concept through execution and measurable improvement

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Bachelor’s degree required
• 2+ years of progressive experience in finance, business analysis, operations, data analytics or a related field
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Experience working with large datasets, reporting tools and/or data models
• Ability to understand both the financial and operational side of the business

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY

• Multi-billion-dollar global organization
• Opportunity to join a company in the midst of significant transformation
• Unique exposure across data, finance and operations
• Highly visible role working across multiple functional areas
• Opportunity to build solutions—not simply prepare reports
• Strong opportunity for professional growth and advancement
• Work directly on initiatives that improve how the business operates and makes decisions

If you are a strong analyst who enjoys digging into data, understanding the business problem, developing the solution and then helping make it happen , this could be an outstanding next step.
