Job description

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

Key Responsibilities

1. Value Realization & Capacity Release (Outcome Ownership) Owns end-to-end benefits realization for Accounting COE initiatives—converting productivity claims into sustained capacity release that can be redeployed to higher-value work and/or enable scalability. Establishes a practical approach to validate savings (run-rate vs one-time), prevent “benefit leakage,” and ensure improvements are embedded into standard operations and operating rhythms. (Recommended design; no additional source) Drives measurable improvement in COE operational outcomes (cycle time, productivity, stability, quality), aligned to COE strategic direction and efficiency ambitions.
2. Global Accounting COE Operational Performance (Run + Scale) Accountable for global operational health across Accounting COE services—ensuring stable delivery, scalable operating models, and consistent execution across regions. Ensures COE service commitments are translated into operating discipline, including SLA adherence, performance visibility, and corrective actions when service levels are at risk. Partners with functional leaders to reinforce standardization, operational readiness, and execution consistency that supports best-in-class performance.
3. Enterprise Advisory, Negotiation & Influence (E2E Beyond Accounting) Serves as the principal accounting advisor to enterprise process/system transformations (e.g., S2P and adjacent workflows), ensuring solutions are operationally feasible, scalable, and sustainable for Accounting execution. Influences senior stakeholders to drive timely decisions, resolve cross‑functional conflicts, and secure end‑to‑end accountability across upstream/downstream partners. Negotiates trade‑offs across speed, controls, cost, and operational capacity—balancing business outcomes with execution realities and control integrity.
4. Operational Risk, Controls Mindset & Issue Leadership Leads resolution of high‑risk, high‑visibility issues impacting operational continuity, control environment, or compliance readiness—especially those spanning regions/functions. Ensures operational changes strengthen effectiveness and reduce friction while maintaining a disciplined control mindset in execution. Applies structured problem‑solving under ambiguity and time pressure; drives rapid containment and sustained fixes with clear ownership.
5. Benchmarking & Target‑State Definition (External Lens) Brings external benchmarks and industry insights to challenge current practices, define target‑state performance standards, and translate them into pragmatic roadmaps and operating model shifts. Helps advance COE toward “best‑in‑class” outcomes through scalable standards and measurable execution cadence.
6. Ad‑Hoc Organizational & Cross‑Functional Initiatives Undertakes ad‑hoc organizational or cross‑functional initiatives, including people‑related matters, as required to support operational priorities, resolve emerging issues, and ensure sustained performance across the Accounting COE

Key Interfaces / Stakeholders

• Accounting COE functional leaders (AP, GL, FA, etc.) for execution alignment and sustained adoption.
• Enterprise transformation stakeholders and upstream/downstream partners (e.g., Procurement/S2P, IT, Tax, Finance Ops) for E2E design tradeoffs and operationalization.
• COE performance framework partners where SLA/KPI commitments and service expectations are defined and tracked.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA/CA preferred); MBA is an advantage. Typically 12–15+ years of experience in finance transformation, COE, or large‑scale operations. Proven ability to influence senior leaders and drive decisions across functions and regions. Demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional change in complex environments and operate effectively under ambiguity. Strong external perspective and strategic thinking; able to translate insights into executable roadmaps.
