• Partner with HR/People team and hiring managers to maintain visibility into recruiting pipelines and translate hiring plans into financial impact.

• Provide regular headcount reporting to leadership, including variance to plan and projected run-rate impacts.

Business Partnership & Special Projects

• Serve as the primary FP&A partner to department budget owners for all Opex-related questions, fostering strong relationships and financial accountability.

• Improve and automate existing Opex reporting and forecasting workflows; identify opportunities to reduce manual effort and increase accuracy.
