• Transformation focus: The organization is actively focused on efficiency, including opportunities to assess automation, AI and other technology solutions
• Strong team: You'll work alongside an established international accounting function and a capable offshore team
• Career development: Broad cross-functional exposure and plenty of opportunity to build your internal network and progress into other areas of the organization
• Hybrid flexibility: Just 2 days per week in the Atlanta office

• Active CPA
• Public accounting experience, ideally Big 4 / Top 10
• 5+ years of progressively responsible accounting experienceStrong US GAAP knowledge

• Public company and/or multinational experience
• Previous management or supervisory experience
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability
• Someone who can communicate effectively with stakeholders across different functions and geographies

Compensation: ~$135K base + 15% bonus, with some flexibility for the right candidate.
