• Develop and maintain annual budgets and rolling forecasts that reflect the dynamic nature of AdTech markets, factoring in seasonality, demand fluctuations, pipeline velocity, and programmatic revenue flow
• Create and enforce budgets at the divisional level, working cross-functionally to ensure spend accountability, performance tracking, and alignment with overall company profitability targets
• Ensure robust international financial operations, particularly across the US, UK, and MENA regions, managing multi-entity compliance, cross-border payments, tax considerations, and FX exposure
