• Serve as the quality gate on the global financial package before it reaches SVP Finance, reviewing for accuracy, completeness, and narrative quality
• Build a culture of proactive business partnership within NA finance shifting from reactive reporting to insight generation and executive-ready storytelling

Client & Revenue Intelligence

• Own the NA client health framework: monitor revenue concentration, profitability, renewal risk, and expansion opportunity across the portfolio; conduct quarterly analysis and present gaps, bright spots, and recommended actions to NA leadership
• Lead client-level margin analysis in partnership with CBU SVPs; identify margin compression and drive action on pricing, staffing optimization, and SOW restructuring
• Partner with Sales and Delivery leadership on deal structuring and pricing for strategic opportunities, ensuring margin discipline is embedded early in the revenue cycle

• Demonstrated experience as a financial business partner owning a $100M+ regional or business unit P&L with direct accountability for forecast accuracy, margin performance, and profitability outcomes
• Proven ability to translate financial analysis into management actions that improve EBITDA and client margins; experience building structure and process in fast-moving, growth-stage environments
