Senior Accountant job - High Growth Pharma MNC - County Galway
Your new company
Your new company is one of the great modern business success stories to come out of the West of Ireland over the last half century. Coming from humble beginnings over 40 years ago this entrepreneur-led manufacturing organisation has experienced exponential growth over the last decade or so, becoming one of the industry leaders in generic pharmaceutical manufacturing and now exporting to over 90 countries. Despite it's multinational presence, the company prides itself on it's ability to retain their entrepreneurial spirit, fostering a culture of innovation, acting on initiative and a solutions-focused, questioning mindset all built around a strong team ethic. The company is projected for even stronger growth in the coming years so there is huge opportunity for any finance professional who is keen to progress their career.
Your new role
Your new role will report directly to the Financial Planning and Reporting Manager and you will join a high-functioning team of six qualified accounting professionals, including one direct report. You will play a major role in the month-end process for the company, producing month-end management accounts for the group and preparing a comprehensive month-end file to support all balances each month. You will also be tasked with ensuring a robust system of internal controls, monitor compliance procedures, play a central role in the external audit process and you will also play a central role in process improvements and implementing new systems as the company continues to grow. This is an exciting role with endless possibilities for you to gain extensive exposure across systems, project management, team leadership, working cross-functionally in an innovative environment as well as a hands-on financial reporting and analysis role.
What you'll need to succeed
You must be a fully qualified accountant with a professional accreditation (ACCA/ACA/CIMA/CPA) with at least 5+ years post-qualified experience in industry. You will ideally have exposure in a role within a manufacturing environment, this can be from any industry such as engineering, construction, medical devices, technology but preferably from pharma. Exposure to working in a high-functioning, global MNC is also preferred as is experience in implementing and optimising ERP systems and process improvements. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are a must as is an ability to demonstrate a questioning, innovative and solutions-first mindset. People management experience is an advantage but not essential.
What you'll get in return
You will gain a highly competitive benefits package including a generous base salary, healthcare cover, generous annual leave entitlement and an opportunity for career and professional development as the company has projected huge growth internationally over the coming years, leading to huge opportunities for employees. You will get the opportunity to join a fantastic company culture based on entrepreneurial values where everyone pulls in the same direction. It is very much an MNC with a 'SME heart' with the main differentiator being the ability to implement ideas and watch them have a direct commercial effect. This is the perfect role for an experienced financial reporting accountant who is looking to take their career to the next level.
