- Analyze expenses and optimize fees, currency conversions, and transfers.
- Negotiate with banks, payment service providers, and currency exchange services to improve financial terms.
- Systematize and automate financial processes and regular reconciliations.
- Identify financial risks and develop solutions to minimize them.
- Contribute to the development and scaling of the company’s financial infrastructure.

- Has at least 2 years of experience managing a Finance Department or Treasury function.

- Understands key metrics such as inventory turnover and tied-up capital.
- Is highly detail-oriented and comfortable working with large volumes of financial data.
- Has strong negotiation skills.
