You work fluently across the finance-platform landscape - S/4HANA as the enterprise core, alongside native finance applications such as BlackLine and Coupa - and can reason about where AI and agentic tooling change how a finance process should run, not just digitise it. * Comfortable in ambiguous environments, adapting to different client contexts and operating models. * Willing to travel to client sites.
