• Perform revenue analytics and reporting — support internal stakeholders with insights on revenue trends and forecast relationships.
• Assist in internal and external audit requests, including documentation of account control matrices, support for audit testing, and remediation of findings.
• Manage and train extended workforce resources to scale recurring tasks, while driving continuous improvement through process optimization, automation, and system enhancements (e.g., templates, scripts, workflow tools).
