  • Serve as a trusted point of contact for the FinOps Manager and VP Finance, providing regular visibility into regional client activity, risks, and opportunities
  • Support onboarding of new clients from a finance and documentation perspective — contracts, purchase orders, credit terms, and vendor setup
  • Coordinate with the sales and AdOps teams to ensure billing data reflects actual delivery and contractual commitments
  • Assist with ad-hoc administrative tasks to support the VP APAC and regional office operations as needed
