Job description

About The Role

This is a support role at the center of a global finance organization, working across treasury, tax, and corporate accounting to prepare the schedules, analysis, and documentation that our Chief Accounting Officer, business unit CFOs, site controllers, tax advisors, and auditors rely on. You will not own these functions - process ownership sits with corporate finance leadership - but you will make those processes run: pulling data, building schedules, reconciling balances, and getting answers back accurately and on time. You will also independently own a defined set of recurring tasks end-to-end.
