Create a better #TomorrowWithUs 🚀 

At Siemens, we build technology solutions to shape the world we live in. We transform industries and societies by combining the real and digital worlds. With over 300.000 of the world’s most forward-thinking minds and the power of a presence in more than 190 countries, we make a truly global impact. 

 
Are you ready to be part of the change? Come join us!  ⭐ 


Your mission will be…  
  • Own the governance of the monthly financial close: define the close calendar and requirements, coordinate inputs, and review/validate deliverables produced by the accounting provider (e.g. reconciliations) while ensuring quality and timeliness.
  • Own reporting oversight and transparency: validate Balance Sheet & P&L reporting packs, challenge variances, and ensure a clear audit trail from source systems; improve reporting through standardized data models and dashboards.
  • Own oversight for non-routine / complex topics (e.g., M&A, provisions, intercompany, fixed assets, cut-off): set the accounting approach, review provider execution, and document conclusions.
  • Act as the accounting process owner and interface for HQ and local stakeholders: clarify requirements, manage escalations, and ensure alignment between business needs and provider delivery.
  • Ensure correct application of accounting standards and local requirements by defining guidelines, reviewing key judgments, and maintaining audit-ready documentation (position papers, memos, evidence expectations).
  • Own the control framework for the process (reconciliations, approvals, evidence standards): design/refresh controls, monitor provider compliance, and remediate gaps to remain audit-ready.
  • Coordinate audit readiness and audits: manage request lists, ensure timely evidence from the provider, resolve findings, and track action plans to closure.
  • Lead process ownership, standardization, and digitalization: define control evidence standards, and implement monitoring/automation (e.g., Power BI dashboards, Excel/KNIME workflows) to reduce risk and manual effort.
Digital Skills & Process Improvement
  • Use SAP FI (or similar ERP) to support process oversight: run checks, validate postings, perform reconciliations/controls, and support system changes by testing, validating outputs, and updating work instructions.
  • Build and maintain advanced Excel / analytics solutions (e.g., Power Query, pivots, structured reconciliations) and Power BI dashboards to improve accuracy, speed, and audit trail.
  • Identify repetitive/manual steps and implement automation (e.g., templates, macros, workflows) and standard operating procedures that can be adopted by the team.
  • Demonstrate concrete examples of process improvement delivered in previous roles (what was changed, how it was implemented, and the impact).


We are looking for someone with… 
  • Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 2–5+ years of relevant experience in one of the following tracks: (1) Accounting (end-to-end / GL), (2) Audit/Assurance, or (3) Accounting + proven digital/process improvement in Finance.
  • Ability to deliver independently in a fast-paced environment: prioritize, execute, and close open items with limited supervision.
  • Able to work effectively with HQ, operations, and auditors; communicate clearly and document work in an audit-ready manner.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally, depending on business needs.
  • Fluency in English (mandatory); additional languages are a plus.
  • Hands-on capability with SAP FI (or equivalent ERP) at user level, advanced Excel, and analytics/automation tools such as Power BI and KNIME; able to show concrete examples (projects, case studies, dashboards, automated files/workflows) of improvements you built and the impact.


What We Offer 
  • Belong & Innovate: Work in diverse teams where every idea matters and innovation grows through collaboration and trust. 
  • Flexibility that Works: Hybrid model, flexible hours, and a home office budget — because balance fuels performance. 
  • Health & Well-being: Comprehensive health insurance, mental health support, and active sports communities to keep you feeling your best. 
  • Grow Without Limits: Access world-class learning platforms, mentoring, and continuous development opportunities. 
  • Purpose & Perks: Contribute to sustainability and volunteer initiatives, enjoy partner discounts, and take advantage of our convenient shuttle service. 


Please attach your CV in English to your application.
