Job description

Overview

Associate Director / Senior Manager, Financial Reporting

You’re not the person who will settle for just any role. Neither are we. Because we’re out to create Better Care for a Better World, and that takes a certain kind of person and teams who care about making a difference. Here, you’ll bring your professional expertise, talent, and drive to building and managing our portfolio of iconic, ground-breaking brands. In this role, you’ll help us deliver better care for billions of people around the world. It starts with YOU.

This role will be part of Kimberly Clark's International Family Care and Professional (IFP) business—an organization rooted in purpose and innovation that has built a legacy with global impact. As Kimberly-Clark forms a strategic partnership with Suzano to create a world-class international tissue and professional products company, this role is proposed to transfer to the new venture once the transaction closes, anticipated in mid-2026, subject to consultation and other applicable legal requirements. This is a rare opportunity to help shape a new global leader backed by two industry powerhouses. You’ll be part of a high-potential business that combines Kimberly-Clark’s iconic brands and commercial excellence with Suzano’s industrial and sustainability leadership.

Once the team is set up and begins operating, the role will be responsible for leading various projects including implementation of new accounting standards and processes, changes to reporting requirements due to organisational changes, system implementations, coordination with and providing guidance to Global Business Services’ (GBS) Management Information Delivery (MID) and Accounting / Reporting teams, and other projects as assigned.

• Ensure accurate, complete, and timely analysis and reporting to internal and external customers for consolidated financial results on a monthly, quarterly, annual, and as-requested basis
• Develop and maintain a robust understanding of the underlying accounting systems and their interface with the HFM consolidation system including providing regular education to the team and business partners.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to enhance efficiency, adjust to changing conditions, and / or improve internal controls.
• Initiate and lead key projects that support the strategic direction of the JV and its partners
• Conduct accounting research and provide guidance on technical accounting matters and application of the Corporate Financial Instructions (“CFIs”) to assist the JV in its reporting responsibilities.
• Coordinate the preparation, review, and dissemination of key reports to internal and external customers
• Maintain comprehensive process documentation and policies to ensure accuracy, effectiveness, and reliability of the established financial controls.
• Provide a source of business knowledge and problem-solving capabilities to drive financial statement analysis, insights, and actionable recommendations.
