Senior Technical Accountant
About The Position
Are you already working in technical accounting and looking to deepen your expertise on complex, non-routine transactions? Do you enjoy applying U.S. GAAP to real business scenarios rather than following repeatable processes? Do you thrive in work that is varied, judgement-based, and far from formulaic? We’re looking for a Senior Technical Accountant to join our Accounting Policy & Controls team. This is a high-impact role focused on applying U.S. GAAP to complex, non-routine transactions and helping shape how the organisation approaches accounting decisions.

- Strong analytical thinking with the ability to exercise sound professional judgement
- Confident communicator who can translate technical guidance into clear, practical recommendations
- Self-starter who is comfortable working in a highly autonomous, unstructured environment
