• Deep understanding of ERP systems (e.g., Oracle) and their financial modules in a manufacturing and project + cost accounting context.
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills, including the ability to distil complex financial information into clear, executive-level presentations.
• Intellectually curious, highly results-oriented, and comfortable leading in ambiguous, high-visibility roles.
• Track record of driving transformation, continuous improvement, and measurable bottom-line impact.
