This is a role for someone who enjoys both doing and leading — executing key accounting tasks while improving how things get done.

You’ll work closely with finance leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure financial data is accurate, processes are efficient, and reporting deadlines are met. You will also help drive the “back-to-basics” culture within finance — focused on discipline, accountability, and clarity.
