Key Responsibilities

Finance Business Partnering

• Serve as the primary finance partner to Cross Border Programs (SX, DEX, Ads) leaders — providing strategic financial counsel on investment decisions, cost optimization, seller economics, and program scalability
• Own the financial planning cycle including annual operating plans, long-range forecasts, and quarterly business reviews with a focus on purchasing spend, savings targets, and program ROI
• Deliver insightful variance analysis, bridge walks, and executive narratives that connect business performance to broader P&L and cash flow outcomes
• Proactively identify financial risks and opportunities — surfacing trade-offs and recommendations to leadership
• Partner cross-functionally with program managers, product, and Category teams to ensure financial alignment on initiatives
• Influence program prioritization and resource allocation through rigorous financial frameworks and business case development
• Support due diligence and financial evaluation of new purchasing programs, vendor onboarding, and strategic sourcing initiatives

AI-First Finance Transformation

• Build & Deploy AI Solutions: Identify, pilot, and scale AI-powered tools that reduce manual effort and improve decision quality
• Automate & Optimize: Identify repetitive, low-value tasks and design AI/automation solutions to eliminate them — freeing up capacity for strategic business partnering
• Data Strategy & Governance: Partner with data engineering, global finance solutions, and analytics teams to ensure clean, accessible, and well-governed data pipelines that power AI models
• Measure AI Impact: Define success metrics for AI initiatives (e.g., forecast accuracy improvement, hours saved, cycle time reduction in financial reviews) and report progress to leadership
