About the role

  • Record to Report Manager leading finance transformation in a hybrid environment. Stabilizing accounting processes and ensuring audit readiness for multi-entity finance operations.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Close (GL leadership): Stabilize and continuously improve month-end and year-end close across entities.
  • Intercompany Excellence: Design and run group-wide intercompany processes. Ensure IC mismatches are surfaced early, resolved fast, and do not derail the close.
  • Audit readiness & internal controls: Own audit preparedness by strengthening documentation, evidence, and controls.
  • The IFRS Pivot: Lead the operational transition from "Local GAAP first" reporting to an IFRS-first model, ensuring teams perform primary bookings in IFRS while managing local adjustments for tax and statutory needs.
  • Systems Transformation: Act as a champion for our group-wide migration from legacy systems (DATEV, Sage) to NetSuite, ensuring teams are trained, motivated, and supported through the transition.
  • Change Leadership: Transform the mindset of the DACH and French accounting teams, fostering an environment where innovation and technical proficiency are celebrated rather than avoided.

Requirements
