To succeed in the role, you:

• have a bachelor’s degree in accounting, controlling, or similar (ACA-qualified) and are fluent in written and spoken English
• are a subject matter expert in financial reporting through extensive, relevant experience from working in a public accounting firm or a controlling department in an international company with thorough knowledge of IFRS or a local GAAP
• are a highly competent user of the Microsoft Office suite, incl. Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint and have experience with financial accounting ERPs, such as SAP/Hyperion, and are familiar with other reporting software such as One Source and Cadency
