Position SummaryWe are seeking a Senior Accountant to join our Corporate Accounting team and support a combination of accounting operations, process improvement, and finance transformation initiatives. Our accounting organization operates across multiple global entities, with processes and close activities that have evolved independently over time. This role will work closely with accounting teams to help improve consistency, efficiency, and visibility across these activities, including supporting enhancements to our global close calendar and related processes.
This is a highly visible, hands‑on role for someone who is comfortable operating in a fast‑paced environment with significant complexity and multiple work streams occurring simultaneously. The ideal candidate will have a strong accounting foundation, be comfortable working through detailed accounting activities, and have an interest in identifying opportunities to simplify manual processes, improve controls, and create more scalable ways of working.
In the near term, this individual will also play an important role in our transition from Oracle to Workday Financials, supporting Q4 testing, process validation, issue resolution, and accounting readiness ahead of go‑live. Over time, the role will continue to support monthly and quarterly accounting activities while partnering with the broader team on process improvements, automation opportunities, and initiatives designed to make the accounting organization more efficient and scalable.

Develop and maintain accounting process documentation, including close procedures, process flows, ownership matrices, and accounting policies.
Partner cross‑functionally with FP&A, Payroll, Procurement, Tax, Treasury, and other teams where processes intersect with accounting and financial reporting.
Execute and coordinate accounting‑related testing in Workday, including end‑to‑end process testing, validation of accounting results, identification of defects, and confirmation that key accounting processes operate as designed.
Evaluate existing Oracle processes as part of the Workday implementation and identify opportunities to simplify, automate, or redesign processes rather than simply replicating current‑state workflows.
Partner with implementation teams and accounting stakeholders to resolve testing issues and ensure accounting requirements are appropriately reflected in the new ERP environment.
Support post‑go‑live stabilization and continue identifying opportunities to leverage Workday functionality to improve accounting efficiency, controls, and reporting.
Participate in broader accounting process improvement and finance transformation initiatives as the organization continues to scale.
