Profile

Your Profile

You are passionate about creating positive impact through strategic, healthy, and informed financial structure, enabling the organization you work for to respond environmental and social issues related to the forest-risk commodities and agricultural supply chains in the most reliable and sustainable manner.

You've got a rock-solid foundation in accounting, auditing, or finance, backed by over 5 years of hands-on experience in similar roles, and European financial standards have no secrets for you. Your stint in French association management adds an extra sparkle to your profile. Having mastered the ins and outs of accounting, business law, taxation, fluent in both French and English (any other language like Spanish or Turkish a plus) though remaining humble and service oriented, you are a great asset to the team. With your sharp analytical mind, you slice through complexity to deliver spot-on analyses tailored to the organization's needs. Your knack for precision, top-notch organizational skills, and autonomy make you a standout, whether you're flying solo or rocking it in a team.

Your commitment to discretion and loyalty is unwavering, fitting snugly with the organization's core values. Plus, you are experienced in international or multi-country environments? It's like having a golden ticket, bringing invaluable perspective to the table.
