You’ll bring your unique point of view, experience and passion for the work to your team and internal clients. Within Accounting, you’ll enjoy the interesting challenges of the competitive retail space, and you’ll have a 360-degree impact—rather than on just one part of the business.

You will drive process modernization, enhance reporting insights, and increase the visibility and impact of this foundational team across the organization. You will partner with Accounting, Income Tax, and Legal teams to support new initiatives, drive process efficiencies, and leverage analytics to improve complex accounting processes. You will lead special projects and perform ad hoc analyses to support key business partners. In addition, you will assist with the close and consolidation process, ensuring the accuracy of legal entity financial statements. Responsibilities also include preparing SAP journal entries, reviewing key controls, and building strong cross-functional relationships to influence stakeholders and provide exceptional support to teams across the company.
