• Explore how AI can support financial reporting and data validation (e.g., automated variance commentary, anomaly detection, data QC support)
• Integrate foundational AI concepts such as large language models (LLMs), embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agent-based automation to structure queries, document workflows, and prototype automated solutions

4. Team Leadership & Development:

• Serve as the manager for the India FP&A team.
• Recruit, onboard, and develop analysts as the team scales.
• Set clear goals, establish processes, and create a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.
