Develop, document, and maintain standardized workflows, templates, and close checklists that scale across a growing client portfolio.
Establish and track team KPIs for delivery quality, timeliness, and client satisfaction; use data to drive decisions.
Lead retrospectives after each close cycle to capture what worked, what didn't, and what changes before next quarter.

Strong understanding of derivative instruments across asset classes: interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, FX forwards, options, and commodity derivatives.

advanced degree in Accounting or Finance a plus.
10+ years of progressive accounting experience, with at least 7 years focused on derivative instruments and hedge accounting under ASC 815 and IFRS 9.
