About this role
Netflix is hiring a Finance Manager in Tokyo within Core Finance & Controllership, responsible for the finance obligations of its Japan operations as the company grows its slate of Japanese originals. The manager works with teams internationally to improve finance operations and processes in accounting, compliance and reporting, and acts as a business partner to the cross-functional teams in the Japan office.
Day to day this means accounting and reporting under Japanese IFRS, with a strong understanding of how it differs from US GAAP, preparing statutory filing documents for international entities, and leading and managing statutory audits. The manager also works with external advisors and service providers, optimises workflows and processes, and collaborates across offices and time zones.
Applicants need 10+ years of relevant accounting and finance experience, a degree in finance or accounting and a chartered accountant qualification, experience in a multinational environment, and experience managing or building teams. A mix of public accounting and in-house experience is preferred. Experience with cloud ERP such as Workday Financials, systems and automation work, and entertainment or tech industry experience are a plus.
