• understanding and translating our complex risk picture and hedging activities into simple and relevant stories for our internal and external stakeholders
• explaining and ensuring accurate accounting impacts of hedging strategies (incl. high attention to detail)
• ensuring robust end-to-end processes for recurring financial reporting, hedge accounting, and forecasting
• enhancing and maintaining the IFRS 9 hedge accounting framework, ensuring formal hedge documentation and ongoing compliance.

To succeed in the role, you:

• bring experience in financial risk management, auditing, management reporting, or business controlling
• have experience in leading and developing talents across distance (or strong motivation and relevant experience to step into a line management role)
• create results through others and build followership through honest, clear communication
• thrive in change and enjoy collaborating across functions, geographies, and cultures.
