A leading global financial services organization is seeking an experienced accounting professional who is interested in taking the next step in their career and moving into the technology and systems side of the business.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who understands accounting and financial operations but has an interest in how the systems behind those processes work.

Rather than continuing along a traditional accounting path focused primarily on month-end close, reporting, and reconciliations, this role allows you to leverage your accounting expertise in a more technology-focused and strategic capacity.

You will work closely with Accounting, Operations, Technology, and Product teams to troubleshoot systems, improve processes, test enhancements, support implementations, and help accounting teams get the most out of their technology.

You do not need to come from an IT background. This opportunity is particularly well suited to an accountant who has developed an interest in systems, enjoys problem-solving, or has experience working with accounting software and system-related initiatives. Comprehensive training will be provided to help you build your technical and systems expertise.
