Assistant Finance Manager

This is the seat where audit training turns into real ownership. You'll sit across the full P&L, balance sheet, and cash position of our ShopBack Pay entities, not reviewing someone else's numbers, but owning them, defending them in front of country leadership, and ensuring we're driving audit at world class level. We're building this seat for people at very different starting points: a 2nd or 3rd-year senior associate from Big 4 looking for the opportunity to grow on the commercial side; an assistant manager wanting broader ownership; or someone with a few years in a GL / month-end reporting seat who wants more. What matters more than your exact title today is that you can clear an audit, you're relentless on detail, and you want the accountability that comes after the sign-off.
