Key Responsibilities
1) Value Realization & Capacity Release (Outcome Ownership)
  • Owns end-to-end benefits realization for Accounting COE initiatives-converting productivity claims into sustained capacity release that can be redeployed to higher-value work and/or enable scalability.
  • Establishes a practical approach to validate savings (run-rate vs one-time), prevent "benefit leakage," and ensure improvements are embedded into standard operations and operating rhythms. (Recommended design; no additional source)
  • Drives measurable improvement in COE operational outcomes (cycle time, productivity, stability, quality), aligned to COE strategic direction and efficiency ambitions.

2) Global Accounting COE Operational Performance (Run + Scale)
  • Accountable for global operational health across Accounting COE services-ensuring stable delivery, scalable operating models, and consistent execution across regions.
  • Ensures COE service commitments are translated into operating discipline, including SLA adherence, performance visibility, and corrective actions when service levels are at risk.
  • Partners with functional leaders to reinforce standardization, operational readiness, and execution consistency that supports best-in-class performance.

3) Enterprise Advisory, Negotiation & Influence (E2E Beyond Accounting)
  • Serves as the principal accounting advisor to enterprise process/system transformations (e.g., S2P and adjacent workflows), ensuring solutions are operationally feasible, scalable, and sustainable for Accounting execution.
  • Influences senior stakeholders to drive timely decisions, resolve cross-functional conflicts, and secure end-to-end accountability across upstream/downstream partners.
  • Negotiates trade-offs across speed, controls, cost, and operational capacity-balancing business outcomes with execution realities and control integrity.

4) Operational Risk, Controls Mindset & Issue Leadership
  • Leads resolution of high-risk, high-visibility issues impacting operational continuity, control environment, or compliance readiness-especially those spanning regions/functions.
  • Ensures operational changes strengthen effectiveness and reduce friction while maintaining a disciplined control mindset in execution.
  • Applies structured problem-solving under ambiguity and time pressure; drives rapid containment and sustained fixes with clear ownership.

5) Benchmarking & Target-State Definition (External Lens)
  • Brings external benchmarks and industry insights to challenge current practices, define target-state performance standards, and translate them into pragmatic roadmaps and operating model shifts.
  • Helps advance COE toward "best-in-class" outcomes through scalable standards and measurable execution cadence.

6) Ad-Hoc Organizational & Cross-Functional Initiatives
  • Undertakes ad-hoc organizational or cross-functional initiatives, including people-related matters, as required to support operational priorities, resolve emerging issues, and ensure sustained performance across the Accounting COE

Key Interfaces / Stakeholders
  • Accounting COE functional leaders (AP, GL, FA, etc.) for execution alignment and sustained adoption.
  • Enterprise transformation stakeholders and upstream/downstream partners (e.g., Procurement/S2P, IT, Tax, Finance Ops) for E2E design tradeoffs and operationalization.
  • COE performance framework partners where SLA/KPI commitments and service expectations are defined and tracked.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (CPA/CA preferred); MBA is an advantage.
  • Typically 12-15+ years of experience in finance transformation, COE, or large-scale operations.
  • Proven ability to influence senior leaders and drive decisions across functions and regions.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional change in complex environments and operate effectively under ambiguity.
  • Strong external perspective and strategic thinking; able to translate insights into executable roadmaps.
