  • Engage with local teams on
    tax-related topics
    to understand implications without needing expertise in every local standard
  • Manage and develop the
    accounting team
    (coaching, organization, priorities, continuous improvement)
  • Support the organization in improving processes and
    data quality
    , working with NetSuite (ideally)
