• Maintain high-quality working papers, evidence and process documentation to support internal review, external audit and statutory filing requirements.
• Plan and coordinate assigned work with the wider team, balancing requests from multiple country owners and communicating capacity, priorities and potential bottlenecks to support effective workload distribution.
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives, including the use of AI, automation and digital tools to improve drafting efficiency, data quality, review workflows and knowledge management.
• Take ownership of assigned deliverables, anticipate issues, escalate risks appropriately and demonstrate flexibility in supporting ad hoc statutory reporting projects and business changes.

• Qualified or part-qualified accountant, or equivalent relevant experience in accounting, statutory reporting, financial reporting or audit.
• 2+ years experience preparing or drafting statutory financial statements, ideally gained through Big 4 audit or accounting advisory experience, or in a comparable financial statement drafting role within a large, complex multinational organisation.
