Financial Project Manager

Job Title: Senior Financial Project Manager (Accounting & Technical Controls)

Role Overview
We are seeking a senior-level, highly strategic Financial Project Manager to spearhead complex technical accounting, financial planning, and enterprise-wide financial systems initiatives. In this role, you will bring a rigorous corporate accounting background (rather than operational accounting) to independently analyze intricate accounting treatments under US GAAP and IFRS, oversee multi-billion-dollar liability and deferred revenue provisions, and drive financial analytics across business segments.

This is a high-visibility leadership position for a seasoned financial professional who excels at the intersection of accounting policy, systems implementation, and cross-functional collaboration. You will manage monthly/quarterly financial statement analyses, lead variance reporting for senior executive leadership, direct large-scale financial system rollouts (e.g., SAP), and partner closely with external auditors and IT teams to automate processes. If you possess deep technical accounting expertise and advanced data analytics capabilities, we want to hear from you.

• Control Compliance: Verify that internal financial controls related to accounting processes, data flows, and automated systems remain robust and effective.

• Executive Reporting: Lead monthly financial review meetings, explaining variances and macro business developments clearly to senior accounting and controlling leadership.
• Strategic Modeling: Independently build long-range plans (LRP), budgets, forecasts, and ad-hoc presentations to evaluate program profitability, pricing efficiencies, and cost-saving opportunities.

System Implementation & Process Automation
• Systems Integration: Lead the financial oversight and development of new financial systems, data marts, and automation initiatives in close partnership with IT and business departments.
• Process Enhancement: Continuously drive initiatives to automate legacy accounting processes, enhance current reporting structures, and optimize system data accuracy.
