• Ensure compliance with GAAP, regulatory requirements, and internal controls.
• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and service level agreements (SLAs) to drive performance improvements.
• Champion automation and process improvements to enhance efficiency.Support external audit efforts and maintain familiarity with SAP elements (e.g., profit center and cost center hierarchies).
• Serve as a visible SSC leader who builds credibility and trust with customers and business partners, influencing decisions and driving operational excellence through collaboration rather than authority.
• Champion best practices, knowledge sharing, and a customer-centric mindset by engaging stakeholders, facilitating constructive dialogue, and leading teams through change and growth.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting (required).
• Minimum 7 years of experience in finance and accounting functions.
• Minimum 5 years of management experience with a proven track record of leading accounting teams and delivering high levels of customer service.
• Strong knowledge of financial reporting, reconciliations, and fixed asset accounting.
• Expertise in GAAP compliance and internal controls.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Strategic mindset and ability to manage competing priorities.

Work Environment:

• Hybrid role with 3 days in office.
• Up to 20% travel may be required.
• Normal office working conditions with a quiet noise level.
