- Experience in energy, renewable power, infrastructure, or high-growth, multi-entity public-company environments.
- SOX readiness and SEC reporting experience
- Builds audit-ready workpapers and documentation that a reviewer, auditor, or backup owner can follow easily
- Owns work end-to-end, follows up until reviewer sign-off, and escalates blockers early
- Communicates with clear action items, deadlines, and business context
- Uses technology, AI-enabled drafting, and automation thoughtfully while validating outputs and underlying data
