We're looking for you

You are experienced, structured and comfortable stepping into a senior role working close to the Group Chief Accountant and CFO. You combine a helicopter perspective with strong detail control, and you're driven to build structure and improve processes and systems, not just maintain them. Your career likely started in audit, followed by several years of qualified in-house accounting, ideally including group or multi-entity controlling experience.

• At least 4-5 years of experience in qualified accounting; more is welcome.
• Group or multi-entity controlling experience, with a strong grasp of internal control, reconciliations and local GAAP.

• Process- and improvement-driven, comfortable using AI tools to enhance ways of working.
• Fluent in Swedish and English.
