About The Position

The primary responsibility of the Global Accounting CoE is to serve as the global accounting subject matter experts. Members of the CoE obtain an understanding of current company-wide accounting policies, ensure the Company’s processes adhere to those accounting policies and operationalize accounting with a focus on standardization and efficiency. Accounting areas covered by the Accounting CoE are revenue, accounts receivable, cash, inventory, long-lived assets and intercompany. This position will work closely with other CoE Managers, but have a primary focus on corporate functions, including treasury & risk management, benefits and general accounting. The position requires the ability to manage multiple on-going initiatives, several of which may be project based, across different stakeholders. There will be exposure to various cross functional teams including Global Reporting, Accounting Policy, Controllership, Sherwin Business Services (SBS), Commercial Finance, Treasury and HR/Benefits. This position is not hybrid/remote and will be located at our Global Headquarters in Cleveland, OH.
