We are looking for an RTR Accountant/Internal Control Specialist. Location: Wrocław | Work Mode: Hybrid

About the Role We are looking for an RTR Accountant/Internal Control Specialist to play a key role in strengthening and maintaining our Internal Control System (ICS) across the organisation. In this position, you will work closely with global stakeholders to ensure controls are effectively designed, documented, tested, and continuously improved. You will support risk management and compliance initiatives, contribute to audit readiness, and help drive a strong control environment. While the primary focus of the role is on Internal Controls (approximately 80%), you will also provide support for selected RTR activities, ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting processes.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-end handling of all reported issues and queries, with particular focus on country-specific needs.
• Support and lead standardised and optimised solutions for RTR and ATR processes, including process improvements and automation across EMEA countries.

The role has a variable monthly rhythm: during MEC, the priority is RTR delivery and timely month-end close; between closes (mid-month), the priority is BSC-wide ICS coordination and the RTR Tower ICS Champion responsibilities. The successful candidate must be able to switch effectively between operational delivery, control analysis, and cross-tower coordination.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Audit, or a related field.
