We value analytical ability, curiosity, initiative and sound judgment, and are willing to teach the technical and operational aspects of the role. Applicants with relevant experience are also welcome.

• Map recurring workflows and identify practical automation opportunities in reporting, accounting, contract management and franchise support.
• Use AI and business intelligence tools responsibly to support research, analysis and document preparation while verifying outputs and protecting confidential information.
• Develop standardized operating reports, templates and procedures that improve accuracy, accountability and efficiency.
