With clear career progression pathways and exposure to regional operations, this is your chance to make a significant impact while enjoying flexibility and professional growth in a fast-moving sector.

  • Implement robust internal controls throughout all accounting processes while ensuring strict adherence to corporate policies as well as statutory tax obligations.
  • Lead transformative system initiatives such as ERP upgrades (with a focus on SAP) and automation projects designed to streamline workflows and improve data integrity.
  • Manage, mentor, and develop a high‑performing Record to Report team by fostering a culture rooted in accountability, knowledge sharing, continuous learning, and professional growth.
  • Act as a trusted finance business partner for both regional and global stakeholders by providing expert guidance in a dynamic logistics environment.
  • Support both internal and external audit processes by preparing documentation promptly and ensuring full compliance with regulatory standards.

Your deep understanding of international accounting standards ensures that all reports meet stringent compliance criteria even when managing multiple entities across different jurisdictions. Industry‑specific knowledge from logistics or supply chain environments will allow you to navigate sector‑specific complexities with ease. Your interpersonal skills are second‑to‑none; you thrive when building relationships across departments or geographies while communicating complex information clearly. Technological proficiency—particularly with ERP platforms like SAP—enables you to spearhead digital transformation projects that elevate operational performance. Above all else your commitment to nurturing talent sets you apart : you foster an atmosphere where every team member feels supported yet accountable for their contributions.

  • Prior experience working within the logistics, transportation or supply chain industry is highly desirable due to the unique challenges presented by these sectors.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills combined with strong communication abilities enable effective collaboration across finance and operational teams alike.
  • Proficiency with ERP systems—especially SAP—and advanced Excel / data analysis capabilities are necessary for driving process improvements through technology.
  • A hands‑on approach to leadership focused on nurturing talent while maintaining high standards of accountability throughout your team's performance.
  • Track record of implementing process improvements that result in greater efficiency, transparency or compliance within finance functions is highly valued.
  • Experience supporting both internal / external audits by preparing comprehensive documentation that meets regulatory requirements.
