Ready to make your mark as a Corporate Accounting Manager? Join a high-impact opportunity to shape the next phase of Corporate Accounting by strengthening close discipline, developing a growing team, and transforming how accounting processes operate across systems, shared services, and global stakeholders.
What You Will Do
Lead the Corporate Accounting team, including two Senior Corporate Accountants and the intercompany general ledger team in the Shared Operations Center (SOC), by setting clear priorities, accountability, service expectations, and development plans across both corporate and shared-services workstreams.
Own the execution and quality of assigned month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close activities, including journal entries, account reconciliations, accruals, variance analysis, and timely resolution of accounting issues.
Review and approve work prepared by senior accountants and analysts, challenging assumptions, coaching preparers, and ensuring conclusions and supporting documentation are accurate, complete, and audit-ready.
Own select complex corporate accounting areas that remain at the manager level, including employee-related and corporate accruals, commercial program accruals, and other assigned general ledger accounts and processes requiring judgment, cross-functional coordination, or escalation.
Provide leadership and oversight for intercompany general ledger accounting, including reconciliations, settlements, issue resolution, and coordination with global finance and accounting teams.
Monitor close progress, identify risks or dependencies, and communicate significant issues, accounting judgments, and results to the Assistant Controller and other Finance leaders.
Develop and coach a high-performing team through clear expectations, regular feedback, training, performance management, and thoughtful delegation that builds technical and leadership capability.
Serve as a primary accounting partner to Finance, Payroll, Human Resources, Legal, regional finance teams, and the shared operations center, translating business activity into accurate and supportable accounting outcomes.
Strengthen the control environment by reviewing key controls, identifying accounting or documentation gaps, driving corrective actions, and ensuring compliance with U.S. GAAP and company accounting policies.
Lead the documentation and improvement of end-to-end accounting processes, including policies, standard operating procedures, control documentation, close calendars, and ownership requirements.
Champion the use of Oracle Fusion, FCCS, ARCS, Smart View, Excel, automation, and AI-assisted analytical tools to reduce manual work, improve data quality, and increase the efficiency and consistency of recurring processes.
Coordinate internal and external audit support for assigned areas, ensuring requests are addressed accurately and on time and that audit observations are resolved appropriately.
Support accounting transformation, system enhancements, and cross-functional initiatives, including testing, implementation, stabilization, and change management activities.
