• Partner with marketing, legal and treasury teams to design and maintain internal control processes, approval workflows and policy documentation.
• Provide actionable KPIs and management reporting to senior stakeholders; prepare board‑level slides and presentations as required.
• Support internal and external audits, respond to control findings and drive remediation actions.
• Implement and optimise systems and processes (ERP/controlling tools) to increase accuracy and efficiency of marketing financial operations.
• Train and advise local marketing teams and agencies on budget governance, invoicing requirements and compliance obligations.

• Experience with ERP/controlling systems and advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with SAP FI/CO or similar highly desirable.
