- S/4 ROLLOUT AND FINANCE DATA INTEGRATION
- Lead consolidation and reporting requirements for future S/4 deployments, including ledger, chart of accounts, master data, intercompany, currency, interface and close dependencies.
- Assess how S/4 design decisions affect HFM Cloud, consolidation rules, reporting hierarchies, data ingestion, reconciliations and downstream financial reporting.
- Coordinate with S/4, DTS, Finance Transformation and business teams to ensure consolidation requirements are incorporated early in design and deployment decisions.
- Define integration patterns and validation routines for data moving from source systems into the consolidation and reporting environment.
- DATA, MASTER DATA AND REPORTING ARCHITECTURE
- Lead finance requirements for entity, account, cost center, product, business and reporting hierarchies used across close, consolidation and management reporting.

- Design data validation, reconciliation and exception-management processes to support complete, accurate and timely reporting.
- Partner with FP&A and SEC Reporting to ensure consolidation architecture and data outputs support management and external reporting requirements.
- CONTROLS, DELIVERY AND STAKEHOLDER LEADERSHIP
- Embed access, change management, interface, reconciliation and processing controls into system and data design in partnership with Internal Controls and Audit.
