• Work cross-functionally to ensure financial processes and systems evolve alongside the organization's international growth.

Requirements

• Significant experience in financial controllership or senior group accounting roles, preferably within a high-growth SaaS or technology business.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge, particularly IFRS, group consolidation, and multi-entity, multi-currency financial reporting.
• Proven experience building, improving, or scaling accounting operations, ideally within a venture capital- or private equity-backed organization.
