Associate Controller

Schneider Electric has a hybrid (2- 3 days a week from the office) opportunity for an Associate Controller to be based in the following locations: Nashville, TN , Boston, MA, or Westmont, IL.

At Schneider Electric, finance isn't a back-office function. It's a business enabler. We're looking for a sharp, driven Associate Controller who thrives at the intersection of accounting rigor, process transformation, and digital finance. If you're ready to stretch beyond month-end and become a key player in shaping how finance supports a rapidly scaling $40B global energy leader, this is the job for you.

What You'll Own

You'll be part of a team that ensures financial integrity while driving continuous improvement and automation in how we work. Your scope includes:

• Participate in month-end, mid-year, and year-end close cycles including journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations
• Prepare monthly financial reporting packages (HFM) and analyze balance sheet and P&L variances, partnering with various business partners to explain what's really driving the numbers
• Review and own key account reconciliations while working across teams to validate balances and ensure audit readiness
• Investigate and resolve intercompany transactions and help optimize global flows
• Support internal and external audit processes with schedules, analysis, and documentation
• Get the opportunity to lead and partner with several finance transformation projects including automation, simplification, and standardization of accounting processes
• Build and document strong internal controls that scale with the business
• Gain exposure to technical accounting under IFRS and contribute to policy development

Why This Role Stands Out

• You'll work in a tech-forward environment using ERP and analytics tools like Oracle, SAP, HFM, Tableau, and Alteryx
• You'll help scale finance to support a business growing double digits, including digital and recurring revenue models
• You'll join a globally empowered finance team with opportunities to learn and contribute across our four global hubs
• You'll collaborate with leaders who see finance as a partner, not just a processor

We know skills and competencies show up in many different ways and can be based on your life experience. If you do not necessarily meet all the requirements that are listed, we still encourage you to apply for the position.


What You Bring Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• Must have a CPA or CPA candidature (track) or MBA
• 3+ years of experience in public accounting and/or in complex industrial/manufacturing environments. Experience across both is a strong asset but not required
• Strong technical and analytical foundation
• Clear communication skills and a proactive work style

Preferred Qualifications

• ERP system experience (Oracle, SAP, HFM, etc.)
• 5 or more years of accounting experience in global or matrixed environments
• Interest in systems, process improvement, and data
