Director of Accounting & Reporting

Department: Finance

Location: Berlin

About the role

As the Director of Accounting and Reporting, you aren't just managing a function; you are the architect of our financial integrity. This is a high-impact, high-intensity role that requires you to get deep into the weeds. We are currently in a phase of heavy-lift construction. You will spend a significant amount of your time setting up the infrastructure and refining the plumbing of our financial systems. This isn't a role for someone who wants to walk into a finished house; it’s for a leader who can navigate extreme ambiguity, make high-stakes decisions with incomplete information, and maintain unwavering resilience while building the engine of a global bank.

Your impact

Build the Infrastructure: Drive the heavy lifting of building out our accounting systems and ERP (Workday), ensuring the architecture can support millions of primary accounts and new products like kids' cards.
Deep-Dive Data Ownership: Get into the weeds of our data sets, subledgers, and source systems. You will ensure our financial "source of truth" is industrial-grade and perfectly aligned with our product reality.
Own the Fast Close: Take end-to-end ownership of the book-close process, relentlessly optimizing workflows to achieve a 3-business-day fast close without compromising on integrity.
Decision-Making in Ambiguity: Navigate a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, making firm, strategic calls even when the path forward isn't perfectly paved.
Resilient Leadership: Lead your team through a phase of radical transformation. You must provide clear direction and maintain high standards during periods of high pressure and tight deadlines.
Strategic Interface: Act as the critical link between Finance, Product, and Risk, ensuring every new launch—from crypto to family banking—is seamlessly integrated into our financial reporting.
