Jobbeschreibung

METYCLE - where innovation meets sustainability

We are building the B2B online platform to accelerate the global circular flow of secondary metals. By connecting buyers and sellers of scrap metal globally, we enable efficient trade of secondary metals and drive the seamless flow of recycling material, essential for reducing CO2 emissions by up to 95% compared to primary metal production.

And we take it further! We are pioneering an innovative Smart Sorting Facility that leverages AI, machine learning, and robotics to transform how scrap metal is processed, enhance material quality, improve traceability, and drive the recycling industry into the digital era.

Join us at the early stage in bringing the $610 billion scrap metal trading industry into the 21st century and in shaping the future of metal recycling and green energy solutions.

READY TO MAKE AN IMPACT?

If you are passionate about building finance structures, improving accounting processes, and turning financial data into reliable reporting, join our team as a Senior Accounting & Group Reporting Manager.

Working closely with our CFO and tax advisors, you will play an active role in executing day-to-day accounting, preparing financial and tax reporting, and building scalable processes across our growing international group. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving practical problems, and creating structures—not simply managing existing ones.

We are looking for an ambitious finance professional with at least five years of relevant accounting or reporting experience and a solid understanding of German GAAP (HGB). You are curious, proactive, and comfortable getting into the details - from reconciliations and month-end closing to improving reporting and coordinating external partners. You are eager to broaden your responsibilities, take ownership, and play an active role in building and shaping our finance function as the company grows.

YOUR MISSION

• Financial Closings: Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual closing processes for our German entity under German GAAP (HGB) and coordinate international closing processes in collaboration with external local accounting firms and tax advisors
• Group & Management Reporting: Own the management and group reporting processes and lead the development and implementation of consolidated reporting structures as the company grows
• Intercompany Accounting: Manage intercompany accounting, reconciliations, funding balances, and settlements across all legal entities
• Compliance & Audits: Coordinate statutory annual financial statements, tax filings, and audits with external advisors in Germany and abroad. Ensure compliance with statutory reporting requirements while continuously improving accounting policies, documentation, and internal controls
• Process & Automation: Drive process improvements, automation initiatives, and system enhancements in close collaboration with our Tech/Product teams
• Operations Support: Oversee inventory accounting and warehouse reconciliations for our international operations
• Finance Partner: Be the main contact for accounting questions across the company. Explain financial topics clearly, work closely with other departments, and coordinate tax matters with our external tax advisors.

YOUR PROFILE

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Maths or a related field (professional accounting certifications are a plus)
• At least 5 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in an international scale-up, trading business, or fast-growing SME
• Strong experience with statutory accounting, month-end / year-end closing, group reporting, consolidation processes, and multi-entity accounting
• In-depth knowledge of German GAAP (HGB) with sound experience in intercompany accounting and accounting across international jurisdictions; exposure to IFRS is a strong advantage
• Strong proficiency in accounting software (e.g., DATEV), Excel, and finance automation initiatives
• Experience with inventory accounting and working capital management, ideally in a trading or inventory-driven environment
• Proven experience coordinating with external auditors, tax advisors, and international accounting partners with the ability to improve and scale accounting processes across multiple entities
• Independent, structured, and solution-oriented with a proactive mindset and excellent communication skills, comfortable operating in a dynamic, evolving scale-up environment
• Fluent in English, proficiency in German is a plus; ideally located in or near Cologne, Germany, with a valid work permit (hybrid setup)

WHY JOIN US?

• You will have the opportunity to challenge the status quo and work on an innovative venture with a significant impact
• You will be able to take ownership and shape the future of metal recycling and green energy solutions at an early stage
• We offer a competitive salary including virtual company shares
• We offer an environment with flat hierarchies and a steep learning curve with exciting growth opportunities
• You will benefit from flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely or from a shared office location
• We promote an inclusive, diverse and supportive work environment
