About the role

  • Track and update IT budgets, manage day-to-day purchasing activities (from purchase requests to invoice processing).
  • Review IT spending requests (tools, licenses, and equipment) and evaluate them for fit-for-purpose.
  • Act as a partner to internal teams—asking clarifying questions, challenging and redirecting requests, and helping find cost-effective options.
  • Strengthen operational efficiency through tool rationalization and standardization.

Requirements

  • Bilingual Proficiency: Fluency in Korean and English (written and spoken) is required. Many key stakeholders, decision-makers, and vendors are based in Korea.
  • Experience: 2+ years of experience in budgeting, finance, purchasing, or procurement roles (IT-related experience is an asset).
  • Data Savvy: Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills for budgeting, reconciliation, and simple data analysis (pivot tables, lookups, charts, etc.).
  • Analytical Communication: Ability to interpret numerical data and turn it into clear, actionable summaries for non-finance stakeholders.
  • Stakeholder Management: Strong skills in asking clarifying questions, pushing back and negotiating using data and standards, while maintaining good relationships.
  • Commute: Comfortable working in a hybrid environment in the Los Angeles / El Segundo area. Must be able to commute to the current LA office and, after relocation, to the El Segundo office.
  • Flexibility: Willingness to occasionally work outside standard LA business hours to coordinate with teams in Toronto and Korea.
Benefits
  • Fixed-Term Employment: This is a 12-month Temp position based in our LA office.
  • Global Collaboration: You will collaborate closely with stakeholders in LA, Toronto, and Korea. Flexibility to attend meetings outside standard local business hours (e.g., early mornings or evenings) is required.
