• Collaboration with Team: Work alongside a team handling actual imports, value reconciliation, and other compliance activities to ensure operational efficiency.
   

Additional Role Details:

• Team Support: This role supports a growing team, and there is open headcount within the department. A successful candidate could transition into a full-time role in the future, providing long-term career growth potential.
• Data Expertise: An affinity for working with data and a strong command of Excel to audit, analyze, and report findings is crucial to this role.
