Excellent communication skills with the financial acumen to present data clearly to internal department leads and constructively challenge over-budget expenditures or project overruns. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with multi-entity corporate accounting and intercompany capital allocations or eliminations.

Prior background in telecom, fiber utilities, construction, or CAPEX-heavy infrastructure industries.
