This role is responsible for the ETS financial accounting as well as consolidation of all ETS business unit costs globally. This role is responsible for the end-to-end month-end book closure process, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting. The incumbent will manage accruals and prepayments, cost allocations, variance analysis, and provide ongoing audit support, working closely with business stakeholders and cross-functional finance teams. We have already centralized ETS accounting into India and are now looking to centralize further areas of accounting into the India team, standardizing processes across business units and driving automation wherever possible. This role will play an active part in that journey — identifying manual, repetitive activities and helping build more efficient, scalable ways of working. You will be working closely with the ETS Finance Controller, ETS General Manager Financial and Management Accounting, ETS Commercial Leader and business partners, Regional Finance Teams, and ETS Product leaders.
