•Recommend operational performance targets by using relevant industry standards and internal baselines for measures such as cash collections cycle time, unapplied cash, payment timeliness, forecast accuracy, exception volume, and reconciliation quality, then coordinating improvement activity toward approved goals.
•Represent treasury in NetSuite process design by partnering with Cameron, Plative, and internal Finance and Technology stakeholders to document current-state needs, test proposed workflows, and validate treasury requirements, controls, reporting, and user needs.
•Coordinate ERP implementation readiness by supporting treasury testing, data validation, cutover preparation, documentation, and training so the team can adopt the new system effectively.
•Help build the 13-week cash flow forecast by organizing the methodology, data inputs, forecast calendar, and reporting cadence required to produce a credible rolling view of liquidity and short-term cash needs.

•Partner across Finance by working closely with Accounting, FP&A, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Tax, Technology, and business leaders to connect operational data to cash outcomes and resolve barriers to performance.
