- Generate margin calculators and financial analyses to assess the economic viability of proposed deals.
- Support the regional Sales team with concession and operational requests and regional initiatives.
- Review draft agreements to ensure consistency with internally approved deal terms.
- Provide post-execution support, helping resolve issues between Sales, Revenue Accounting, and Order Management teams.
Who you are:
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or business
