Negotiate with banks, payment service providers, and currency exchange services to improve financial terms.
Systematize and automate financial processes and regular reconciliations.
Identify financial risks and develop solutions to minimize them.
Contribute to the development and scaling of the company’s financial infrastructure.

Has at least 2 years of experience managing a Finance Department or Treasury function.
