- Identify and track risks and opportunities at both country and regional level; proactively recommend mitigation actions, trade-offs, and reallocation of resources to protect and grow regional results.
- Support business cases, ROI analysis, pricing and commercial strategy discussions, and new market or therapy expansion initiatives as the Heart Recovery business scales across APAC.
- Partner with commercial leaders, country finance teams, Marketing, Sales, and other functions across APAC to support business decision-making through financial insights, scenario analyses, and clear recommendations.
- Collaborate with country finance teams, the Shared Service Center, and relevant stakeholders to execute accurate and timely month-end and quarter-end close across APAC, ensuring appropriate documentation and compliance with company policies.
- Drive continuous improvement and standardization of APAC planning, reporting, and forecasting processes through automation and improved visibility, enhancing quality, speed, and transparency.
- Maintain strong working relationships with country, regional, and global finance stakeholders; respond quickly and accurately to ad-hoc requests and support regional governance and decision forums as needed.
