Following the integration phase, the role will become the primary owner of statistical reporting, financial statements preparation, surveys, management reporting, and financial consolidation activities for AME Region.

Core Responsibilities:

• Support the financial integration of acquired entities and LDCs into the company's operating model.
• Coordinate integration activities across Finance, Accounting, Tax, FP&A, Operations, HR and IT teams.
• Support data migration, chart of accounts alignment, reporting structures and systems harmonization.
• Deliver a high-performance, customer- and service-oriented culture where the outside-in approach is the starting point for all processes.
• Drive process standardization and best practice implementation across integrated entities.
• Ensure compliance with internal and external regulations (local GAAPs and IFRS).
• Using Activity Based Working, actively take part in creating a culture that inspires collaboration, encourages knowledge sharing and incorporates exciting "New Ways of Working" in the everyday.
• Build and strengthen basic stakeholder relations across areas and geographies, including collaboration and culture, to contribute to the One Global Team (incl. all CFO Organisation areas).
• Understand stakeholders' needs.
• Manage more advanced execution of GL processes in a timely, efficient and accurate manner, including:
• Monthly and yearly closing - review distribution expenses, cost of goods sold and gross profit margins for reasonableness.
• Performance of key controls, identification of control weaknesses and suggestions for improvements.
• Reconciliations and translating business transactions into journal entries in accordance with IFRS to ensure all accounts are properly stated in legal books.
• Prepare and coordinate statistical reports required by government agencies, industry organizations and management.
• Lead annual, quarterly and ad hoc surveys and reporting requests.

Do you have what it takes?

• Strong English communication skills (must).
• Strong demonstrated working experience in Accounting, Financial Reporting or FP&A.
• Experience supporting mergers, acquisitions or business integrations preferred.
