- Solid understanding of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), with knowledge of the Swiss Code of Obligations or Swiss GAAP FER being advantageous.
- Practical experience managing Record to Report (R2R) cycles, statutory reporting, and payroll accounting in an international environment.
- Proficiency with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems (such as SAP, Workday, or Oracle) alongside advanced spreadsheet capabilities.
- Curiosity for data and automation, with an interest in tools like Power BI, SQL, Python, or generative AI productivity solutions.
- Collaborative communication abilities in English, with Swiss German, French, or Italian language skills considered a helpful bonus.
