• Familiarity with telecommunications accounting standards and regulatory reporting requirements

• Strong Excel skills and experience with accounting/ERP systems.
• Self-directed and comfortable taking ownership without extensive oversight.

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, Finance, or a related discipline preferred.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Join an established telecommunications organization operating in an essential and evolving industry.
