• Reporting & Insights: Build and maintain reporting capabilities to monitor partner performance, leveraging financial acumen to forecast trends and provide insights that drive working capital optimization.
• Process Documentation: Draft and maintain comprehensive process documentation, including SOPs and detailed end-to-end workflows, to support seamless operational consistency.
