Are you ready to be part of the change? Come join us! Your mission will be…* Own the governance of the monthly financial close: define the close calendar and requirements, coordinate inputs, and review/validate deliverables produced by the accounting provider (e.g. reconciliations) while ensuring quality and timeliness.

• Own reporting oversight and transparency: validate Balance Sheet & P&L reporting packs, challenge variances, and ensure a clear audit trail from source systems; improve reporting through standardized data models and dashboards.
• Own oversight for non-routine / complex topics (e.g., M&A, provisions, intercompany, fixed assets, cut-off): set the accounting approach, review provider execution, and document conclusions.
• Act as the accounting process owner and interface for HQ and local stakeholders: clarify requirements, manage escalations, and ensure alignment between business needs and provider delivery.
• Ensure correct application of accounting standards and local requirements by defining guidelines, reviewing key judgments, and maintaining audit-ready documentation (position papers, memos, evidence expectations).
• Own the control framework for the process (reconciliations, approvals, evidence standards): design/refresh controls, monitor provider compliance, and remediate gaps to remain audit-ready.
• Coordinate audit readiness and audits: manage request lists, ensure timely evidence from the provider, resolve findings, and track action plans to closure.
• Lead process ownership, standardization, and digitalization: define control evidence standards, and implement monitoring/automation (e.g., Power BI dashboards, Excel/KNIME workflows) to reduce risk and manual effort.

Digital Skills & Process Improvement* Use SAP FI (or similar ERP) to support process oversight: run checks, validate postings, perform reconciliations/controls, and support system changes by testing, validating outputs, and updating work instructions.

• Build and maintain advanced Excel / analytics solutions (e.g., Power Query, pivots, structured reconciliations) and Power BI dashboards to improve accuracy, speed, and audit trail.
• Identify repetitive/manual steps and implement automation (e.g., templates, macros, workflows) and standard operating procedures that can be adopted by the team.
• Demonstrate concrete examples of process improvement delivered in previous roles (what was changed, how it was implemented, and the impact).

We are looking for someone with…* Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or equivalent professional experience.
