EMEA Assistant Financial Controller

Join the team behind iconic brands like Huggies®, Kleenex®, Andrex®, and Scott® and Kimberly‑Clark Professional® at Kimberly‑Clark, it’s all here for you—innovation, growth, and the chance to make a real impact.

This role will be part of Kimberly Clark's International Family Care and Professional (IFP) business—an organization rooted in purpose and innovation that has built a legacy with global impact. As Kimberly‑Clark forms a strategic partnership with Suzano to create a world‑class international tissue and professional products company, this role is proposed to transfer to the new venture once the transaction closes, anticipated in mid‑2026, subject to consultation and other applicable legal requirements.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a new global leader backed by two industry powerhouses. You’ll be part of a high‑potential business that combines Kimberly‑Clark’s iconic brands and commercial excellence with Suzano’s industrial and sustainability leadership.

You will support the EMEA FC & Assistant Controller and help serve as one of the single points of contact for the IFP Corporate Controller’s Office with respect to controls, technical accounting, and financial reporting. The EMEA Assistant FC will serve as an advisor to the EMEA IFP business, Global Business Services (GBS), Operations, and Centres of Excellence (COE) to help support accounting and reporting integrity and drive an effective controls and compliance program.

This individual will also be a change agent and lead value‑driving activities across the function.

The Assistant FC will provide strong support to the EMEA FC & Assistant Controller in terms of reviewing the completeness and accuracy of statutory financial statements prepared according to local regulations, providing technical accounting support and guidance in terms of both US GAAP as well as local statutory reporting, and leading strategic value‑driving projects. Additionally, the Analyst will partner with the business and functional teams to evaluate and recommend control improvements in their processes, and where applicable, he or she will also engage in discussion of proposed audit findings and provide advice on remediation and will facilitate management testing.

Key customers for this position are Finance and Controllership, Regional and Global Leadership, EMEA BU Finance, External and Internal auditors, Global Business Services (GBS) & Business Control & Process Owners, as well as Internal Control Team Members.
