About The Position

The Senior Accounting Analyst (Operations & Sub-Ledgers) is responsible for the technical accuracy, integrity, and control of the high-volume operational accounting engines within the finance organization. This role requires a strong operational accounting foundation, a proactive and analytical mindset, and the ability to understand how operational workflows—including Treasury, Payroll, Fixed Assets, Procure-to-Pay (P2P), and Order-to-Cash (O2C)—impact the General Ledger and Balance Sheet. The ideal candidate brings a “detective” mindset to identifying and resolving accounting discrepancies, reconciliation breaks, and operational process gaps before they become financial reporting issues. The role requires strong collaboration across Shared Services, HR, Treasury, Tax, Procurement, Business Controllers, FP&A, and Operations teams to ensure operational accounting activities are executed accurately, controlled effectively, and supported by strong reconciliations and documentation. This is an ideal role for a professional seeking to deepen expertise in Finance Operations and Operational Accounting within a complex multinational environment, while building toward future Operational Controllership responsibilities.
