  • Partner Across the Business – Work closely with Financial Controllers, Procurement, and global finance teams to improve efficiency and transparency

What You Bring
  • 3–5 years’ experience in Accounts Payable and general ledger accounting, ideally within a multi-entity or multinational environment
  • Proven ability to manage high transaction volumes with accuracy and strong attention to detail
