We are looking for a professional who combines a strong understanding of Finance processes, particularly Record to Report (R2R), with experience in selecting and applying IT solutions and new technologies that support those processes.

You should have:

• In-depth knowledge of Record to Report (R2R) processes, including the financial closing process, reporting, and consolidation.
