  • Identify and flag discrepancies, working cross-functionally with Operations and commercial teams to resolve
  • Assist in developing and improving inventory tracking procedures and controls
  • Generate inventory reports and summaries for Finance leadership as needed
Requirements:

  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a dynamic environment
  • Intellectual curiosity and interest in sustainability, carbon markets, or environmental finance

Nice to Have

  • Experience with NetSuite or similar ERP platforms
  • CPA candidate or intention to pursue CPA licensure
