  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams across Spain and the Brussels Headquarters.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives, including process improvements and enhancement of internal controls.
  • Assist in developing and updating accounting policies, process documentation, and system improvements.
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior team members.
