    • Collaborate with Finance Systems and Engineering teams to scale our systems infrastructure, leveraging Gemini and machine learning to automate contract reviews and eliminate manual workflows.
    • Enable rapid market access by driving requirements upstream while spearheading automated global controls to ensure financial integrity and statutory accuracy.
