What you'll build:

You’ll be part of the Corporate Revenue Recognition team, working alongside experts in:

• External Reporting and Accounting Technology (ERAT)
• IFRS Policy and Center of Expertise
• Local Accounting and Reporting

Expectations and Tasks:

This role is perfect for someone who loves data, thrives on solving complex problems, and enjoys working across teams. You’ll:

• Research and advise on revenue recognition for new cloud, software, and services models.
• Collaborate with Sales, Legal, Development, Pricing, and Finance to structure deals that meet accounting and reporting requirements.
• Partner with internal SOX teams and external auditors to manage revenue risks—especially in Commit-to-Consume models.
• Own and execute specific SOX controls and Non-IFRS policies.
• Use system data (ISP, CRM, BW, etc.) to identify and analyze issues that impact revenue recognition and disclosures.
• Perform analytics to support policy decisions and uncover insights that drive smarter financial reporting.

What you bring:

We’re looking for someone who’s not just good with numbers — but curious about what they mean and how they shape business decisions.

• Strong analytical mindset — comfortable with data and eager to turn insights into action.
• General understanding of IFRS, especially IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) — or a strong willingness to learn.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Proactive and self-driven — able to set priorities and move forward without a detailed roadmap.
• Passion for continuous learning and understanding end-to-end processes.
• University degree in accounting, auditing, finance, or a related field.
• CPA or equivalent is a plus but not required.
• Experience with revenue recognition in cloud, software, or services is a bonus.
• Fluent in English; German is a plus.
• Intermediate Excel skills; Advanced Excel is a plus (no VBA required).

Work experience:

• Strong preference for at least 3 years of experience in financial accounting at a publicly listed company or an auditing firm.
• Prior experience in a financial reporting function is preferred—but if you’re a fast learner with a passion for analytics and finance, we’d love to hear from you.

Where you belong:

If you’re analytical, curious, and ready to grow—this is your next step.
