• Build and maintain sophisticated Consumer financial models, including operating models, 5-year long-range planning models, and ad hoc analyses to support business decision-making.
• Lead annual planning processes for both organizations in collaboration with key stakeholders.
• Partner with the Corporate FP&A team to consolidate and report on total company financials.
• Optimize financial processes and systems to improve efficiency and accuracy across FP&A functions.
