📋 Description

• The Project Manager in Accounting Operations will work closely with the Head of Accounting Operations to ensure that multiple ongoing projects are moving forward on time, within scope, and with high quality — enabling us to strengthen internal controls, improve efficiency, and achieve a 7WD close target. • You’ll be the central point of coordination for accounting-related projects, ranging from process improvements and system integrations to automation and reporting enhancements. • Manage a portfolio of 20+ accounting and operations projects of varying sizes, ensuring timely progress and alignment with business priorities. • Design and implement scalable processes to reduce errors, close control gaps, and improve operational efficiency (e.g., automation, dashboards, standardized workflows). • Partner with data, engineering, and product teams to design and deploy automated tools, dashboards, and reporting solutions. • Collaborate with internal teams including Country Finance Managers (CFMs), Senior Finance Managers (SFMs), and other Accounting Ops team members to align on requirements and deliverables. • Oversee testing, validation, and implementation of new tools and processes, ensuring accuracy and reliability. • Maintain project trackers, document processes, and communicate progress, blockers, and timelines to leadership. • Help prioritize initiatives based on business impact, balancing urgent fixes with long-term improvements. • Build a Looker dashboard to automate recurring global payroll cost reporting instead of relying on manual trackers. • Create a standardized process to capture and track acquisition-related accounting activities. • Implement automated controls to prevent missed postings or reconciliation errors (e.g., Belgium internal controls upgrade). • Collaborate with data and product teams to integrate accounting workflows with internal systems.
