- Collaborate directly with business development and sales executives to evaluate, design, and optimize complex commercial pricing structures and contract frameworks
- Coordinate with global finance teams to streamline the execution of annual operating budgets and rolling quarterly forecasts
- Manage the tracking, verification, and performance analysis of variable incentive and commission frameworks for the commercial organization
- Lead, mentor, and elevate an existing team of high-performing corporate finance professionals
