Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the integrity, governance, and financial correctness of the data that underpins inventory, cost of goods sold, and product costing
Represent Finance Data & Systems in evaluating and shaping decisions that impact the financial integrity of core inventory-related datasets, including inventory transactions and balances, purchase orders, receiving, bill of materials, product and vendor master data, and unit-of-measure logic
Design and maintain robust validation routines that keep inventory data complete, accurate, and consistent across systems
Investigate data anomalies, quantify business and financial impact, identify root causes, and drive issues through to resolution
Build scalable exception management processes that reduce recurring problems and improve upstream data quality
Partner with Product, Engineering, Operations, Procurement, Accounting, and Data teams on workflows and system changes that affect inventory, costing, invoicing, and reporting
Review requirements and designs for inventory-related changes to ensure financial implications are understood and addressed before launch
Develop reconciliations, dashboards, and reporting that improve visibility into inventory accuracy, waste, costing and stock movements
