* Support project delivery, including business cases, work plans, and stakeholder communication.
* Promote innovation and align technology solutions with business capabilities.
Skills & Experience Required
* Proven experience as a Business Analyst within finance or accounting environments.
* Strong understanding of financial processes and systems; SOX compliance experience highly desirable.
* Ability to manage stakeholders, build consensus, and communicate effectively.
* Skilled in requirements gathering, process mapping, and change management.
* Familiarity with both agile and waterfall delivery methodologies.
* Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
