Sandvik Treasury is overall responsible of supporting the global organization in managing all types of financial exposures. The Treasury function operates as a separate legal entity with its own reporting. Treasury is also responsible for managing and reporting the Group’s finance net, including the interest net, pension- and bank related fees and valuations of various financial instruments. We’re now searching for a Senior Financial Accounting manager to join us in our headquarters in Stockholm and take the leadership for financial accountants in the team. 

What we can offer you

Sandvik is so much more than an engineering group in the manufacturing industry. We’re a global company with endless opportunities for personal and professional development – and great benefits. We have a clear objective of being a leader within digital solutions in our industry and we focus on growing our digital customer offering. To get there, we work towards an even more diverse and inclusive organization – because we’re sure that differences improve Sandvik's business and creates a culture of innovation.

We offer you interesting challenges in an international business environment, extraordinary products, great colleagues, and opportunities for your professional development.

Your mission

As the most senior expert in the financial accounting team you will lead and manage the team, you ensure that the closing process is adequate to report both timely and with high precision. You take ultimate responsibility for the Treasury entity’s monthly closing as well as the Group’s monthly financial net closing. Apart from the closing of the books, you present the outcome in a monthly Treasury report in PowerPoint, as well as coordinate the work with the Audit Committee report. With your experience, you are the auditors’ primary point of contact when it comes to Treasury issues. In the beginning of the year, you are also instrumental in presenting the Treasury entity’s Annual Report as well as selected parts of the Group’s Annual Report. When involved in larger projects like the ongoing Group consolidation system change project, you drive and secure the Financial accounting team’s contribution.

Your character

We’re looking for a structured expert with several years of experience from working with financial accounting. Your previous roles have given you excellent skills in working within ERP, TMS and consolidation systems, along with an appreciation for the varying pace of the job and a solid ability to handle pressure. You hold a degree in accounting and/or business, and as we act in a global setting, you need to be fluent in written and spoken English.

You excel by taking initiatives, sharing responsibility and being a source of inspiration as you empower your team and motivate your co-workers to follow your lead. You’re a strong communicator, always making yourself clear ­- whether it’s verbally, written or in a PowerPoint presentation. With a passion to win, you’re leaving nothing to chance by taking care of your tasks in an organized and thorough manner.
