As the Finance Business Analyst, you will be responsible for capturing and translating Finance requirements into actionable change, ensuring effective delivery across a range of systems and processes.

• Strong Finance knowledge (FP&A, Finance Operations, or Tax).

• Proven business analysis experience (requirements gathering, process mapping, solution design).

• Background in Finance systems (ERP, workflow, payments, reporting, consolidation).

Nice to have:
