About YOU, The Global Controller:
You are comfortable in a fast-paced environment where you communicate daily with world-class talent from global teams
You promote positivity in the workplace and are committed and flexible in your approach to get the job done
You love the thrill of solving the puzzle! You are able to think big picture & long term, quickly switch gears, and just as easily drill down into the details to problem solve
You are a self-starter: you thrive on taking ownership of initiatives with limited oversight… you often find yourself to be one step ahead of the questions being asked in the room.
If accounting didnt work out, you could get a job as a juggler in the circus! You have excellent time management, and you know how to manage multiple priorities
You have great communication skills, both verbal and written, and build relationships with ease
You can build consensus and alignment but are not afraid to push ahead on your vision
You are passionate about leading, managing, and inspiring cross-functional teams
You love to work in an organization that you can feel passionate about the company vision and values
