We're looking for a strategic finance leader to run our global accounting, reporting, treasury, and tax operations. Reporting to the CFO, you'll shape our financial infrastructure, lead international finance teams, and build a world-class control environment from our Burbank headquarters.

Core Responsibilities

Financial Leadership & Reporting

• Build and deliver consolidated financial statements and monthly Board packages using data from regional teams worldwide
• Analyze performance metrics, spot variances against budgets and forecasts, and drive solutions when numbers don't align
• Partner with the CFO to manage global fixed costs—especially corporate overhead—by challenging department heads on spending
• Establish accounting policies, procedures, and controls that keep us IFRS-compliant across all markets

Operational Finance

• Guide regional and local finance teams to maintain consistent, timely accounting practices across geographies
• Track cash flow religiously: forecast receipts and disbursements, analyze variances, and manage banking relationships
• Champion automation—leverage our existing systems, AI tools, and RPAs to eliminate manual work and standardize processes globally
• Lead special projects and financial modeling as strategic needs arise

Tax & Compliance

• Design global tax strategies that make sense for our business structure
• Coordinate with external tax advisors on provisions, returns, and compliance across jurisdictions
• Own the relationship with external auditors, tax firms, and valuation specialists through year-end audits
• Work with the CFO to continuously strengthen internal controls and documentation

Team Development

• Mentor direct reports and develop finance talent across the organization
• Set high standards while helping your team meet aggressive deadlines
• Build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement

Must Have

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience with increasing supervisory responsibility
• Track record leading finance teams that consistently hit deadlines and exceed expectations
• Deep knowledge of IFRS and/or US GAAP including controls, processes, and procedures
• Strong analytical abilities—you see patterns in numbers others miss
• Excellent communicator who can translate complex financial concepts for non-finance audiences
• Experience managing annual audits with meticulous work paper standards

Highly Preferred

• CPA certification
• International/multi-country finance operations experience
• IFRS expertise (we report under IFRS globally)
• Background driving process automation and system improvements
• Comfort presenting to Board-level audiences

What You'll Bring

• Strategic mindset with hands-on execution skills
